Product Overview
Grevillea Flora Mason is a robust, medium-sized shrub known for its stunning flowers that bloom from late autumn through spring. The blooms exhibit a unique blend of apricot, pink, yellow, and cream hues, adding vibrant colour during cooler seasons. Originating from a hybrid of Grevillea pinaster and Grevillea olivacea, it has fine, slender foliage with a silvery-green tone, creating year-round visual interest. With its upright, bushy growth, reaching up to 3 metres tall and 2 metres wide, this shrub is ideal for use as a screen, hedge, or standalone feature in Australian gardens.
Growth:
Reaches up to 3 metres in height and about 2 metres in width, forming a dense and bushy structure suitable for hedging or screening.
Light Requirements:
Thrives in full sun to part shade, promoting healthy growth and abundant flowering.
Soil Requirements:
Adaptable to a variety of well-drained soils, including sandy and clay loams, and tolerates both slightly acidic and neutral pH levels.
Water Requirements:
Requires moderate watering during establishment. Once mature, it is drought-tolerant and well-suited to water-wise landscapes.
Frost Tolerance:
Highly frost-tolerant, suitable for temperate climates, and performs well even in coastal conditions.
Drought Tolerance:
Exhibits high drought resistance once established, making it a low-maintenance choice for dry areas.
Flowering Information:
Displays apricot, pink, and yellow flowers in dense clusters from autumn through spring, attracting pollinators and adding seasonal colour.
Spacing Requirements:
Space plants about 1.5 to 2 metres apart for full coverage in mass plantings or hedging.
Fertiliser Requirements:
Apply a low-phosphorus, native-specific fertiliser in spring to support growth, as high phosphorus can be harmful to Grevilleas.
Care and Maintenance:
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage denser growth. Mulching helps conserve moisture, though keep mulch away from the stem to prevent rot.
