Its mid-green foliage forms a dense, rounded shrub that doubles as an informal screen or bird-attracting feature. Hardy, fast-growing and adaptable, it's one of the most rewarding flowering natives for low-water SA gardens.\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 1.2-1.5 m H x 1.5 m W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fast; 40–60 cm per year; bushy, spreading and dense with a naturally rounded habit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-green, deeply divided leaves; fine to medium texture; dense year-round cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large cherry-red to deep-pink clusters; near year-round with peak autumn through spring; non-fragrant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Near-continuous flowering; heaviest in the cooler months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Outstanding — a magnet for honeyeaters and lorikeets; supports nectar-feeding birds and bees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drought-tolerant once established; frost hardy to moderate; heat-tolerant; wind-tolerant; coastal-tolerant (second-line); clay-tolerant if well-drained\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Density:\u003c\/strong\u003e Informal screen: 1.5–2 m apart; mass planting: 1–1.5 m apart; feature: 2–2.5 m clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePet Friendly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Generally non-toxic, but grevillea foliage and flowers can cause contact dermatitis in sensitive pets and people — discourage 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; tolerates light shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained loam, sandy loam or clay loam; avoid phosphorus-rich fertilisers and waterlogging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Needs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Establishment: 2 deep soaks per week for 8–12 weeks.
