Naturally tolerant of heat, dry conditions and poor soils, it performs reliably across South Australia in full sun and free-draining ground. Its airy, spreading habit and soft grey-green foliage create year-round texture, while the nectar-rich flowers provide an important food source for birds and pollinators. Tough, waterwise and visually dramatic, it is an excellent choice for native gardens, low-maintenance borders and informal screening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1–2 m H × 1.5–3 m W (spreading, open shrub)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20–40 cm per year under good conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fine, deeply divided grey-green foliage with silvery undertones; new growth may show soft bronze or pale green tints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Showy red to deep pink spider-style flowers with pale highlights, flowering mainly winter–spring with repeat blooms at other times\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1384\" data-end=\"1398\"\u003eFragrance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not fragrant (flowers); foliage may have a faint resinous native scent when handled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evergreen foliage provides year-round structure; peak flowering in winter and spring brings strong colour when many gardens are quiet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highly attractive to honeyeaters, native bees and other pollinators; dense branching offers shelter for small birds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drought tolerant once established; excellent heat tolerance; wind tolerant; coastal tolerant (second-line, sometimes first-line with good drainage); light frost hardy; dislikes waterlogged or heavily enriched soils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDensity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feature or informal shrub: space 1.5–2.5 m apart; screening or mass planting: 1–2 m apart depending on desired density\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePet Friendly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Generally safe, though grevillea foliage can cause skin irritation for sensitive people or animals—discourage handling or chewing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere It Works Best\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun for best flowering and compact habit; tolerates light part shade with reduced bloom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Free-draining sandy, loamy or gravelly soils; tolerates limestone and mildly alkaline soils common in Adelaide; avoid heavy clay unless well improved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Needs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Establishment: 2 deep soaks per week for 8–12 weeks.
