PLANTING: Plant in well drained soil in full sun to enjoy maximum flowering; will also grow in part shade.
CARE:  Prune to control growth if needed. Mulch and water regularly until the plant is established, usually around 12 weeks. Feed with a slow release native fertiliser when buds form - grevilleas can be phosphorus-sensitive so the P ratio of the fertiliser needs to be under 3%..
