Grevillea Scarlet Sprite 200MM

Grevillea rosmarinifolia 'Scarlet Sprite'

I am Grevillea Scarlet Sprite. My family originated from Victoria and NSW.

Habit Shrub - Bird and bee attracting

Plant family Proteaceae

I am a spreading native shrub with bright red spider-type flowers and fine needle-like foliage. I am an excellent plant to attract birds and butterflies to your garden. As a low growing spreading shrub my brilliant red flowers bloom en masse from late winter through spring. The fine dense foliage adds texture to the garden and reduces weeds by blocking light to the soil. My low height makes me a good ground cover.

Caution: Skin irritant

I am popular and will make you happy because...

My prolific fine spidery blooms attract honey eaters & other small nectar feeding birds to the garden

I produce brilliant red flowers from late winter through spring

I am ideal to be used in rockeries, pots & terraced gardens
