Grevillea Carpet Layer 140MM

Grevillea x acanthifolia 'Carpet Layer'

I am Grevillea Carpet Layer. My family originated from NSW and Qld.

Habit Groundcover - Long flowering

Plant family Proteaceae

I am a hardy native naturally dense ground cover with large pink toothbrush-like flowers in all but the coldest months. My blooms are a magnet for nectar feeding birds like spinebills and honeyeaters. Hardy and low maintenance my spreading dense foliage of attractive toothed leaves will outcompete most weeds. I am an excellent choice for cascading over retaining walls and embankments where I can be used to help control erosion. I tolerate frosts and dry conditions once established.

Caution: Skin irritant
