Exceptionally well suited to Adelaide’s Mediterranean climate, it combines fine evergreen foliage with rich red, spider-style flowers that appear mainly from late winter through spring, with occasional blooms at other times of year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1302\" data-start=\"929\"\u003eThe naturally weeping habit makes it ideal for use as a feature tree in courtyards, along pathways, in pots, or as a formal row where an elevated canopy is desirable. Once established, it is drought tolerant, heat hardy and low maintenance, offering strong visual impact with minimal care. Like most grevilleas, it is highly attractive to honeyeaters and other pollinators.\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 1.5–2.5 m H × 1.5–2.5 m W (overall height depends on graft\/stem height; canopy typically 0.8–1.2 m wide)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30-60 cm per year under good conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fine-textured evergreen foliage; deep green with occasional bronze or copper tones on new growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unusually dark maroon to purplish-black spider-style blooms with pale yellow pollen tips; nectar-rich; peak flowering late winter to spring, with occasional off-season blooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1748\" data-end=\"1762\"\u003eFragrance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not fragrant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evergreen structure year-round with strong winter–spring flowering and attractive weeping form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent nectar source for honeyeaters, bees and other pollinators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drought tolerant once established; very heat tolerant; wind tolerant; second-line coastal tolerant; light–moderate frost hardy (protect young plants in exposed frost-prone sites)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Density:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feature or row planting: space 1.5–2.5 m apart to allow full canopy development\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePet Friendly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Generally considered non-toxic; sap may irritate sensitive skin—wear gloves when pruning\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 canopy density; tolerates light part shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained sandy, loamy or improved clay soils; avoid waterlogging; use low-phosphorus native fertiliser only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Needs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Establishment: 2 deep soaks\/week for 8–12 weeks.
