Description

Grevillea banksii ‘Ruby Red'

APPEARANCE: Prostrate form of G. banksii with red rounded brush flowers and densely-covering fine foliage. The leaves are long and slender
USE FOR: Ground cover or trailing down embankments. Attracts native birds. Can be grafted onto a trunk to create a 'standard'.
CLIMATE: Tolerates dry conditions once established. Sensitive to frost; happy in humidity in our Sunshine Coast nursery.
PLANTING: Plant in full sun to part shade. Mulch and water regularly until the plant is established, usually around 12 weeks.
CARE: Prune only as required to maintain form. 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%.

YOUR PLANTS: These plants are tubestock plants, with young healthy roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 42 mm wide and 80 mm high.
