Grevillea juniperina x rhyolitica 'Sunkissed'
APPEARANCE : A new compact ground cover Grevillea with a low mounding habit. Lots of small curly flowers in apricot-gold in Autumn and Spring.
ORIGIN : G juniperina is found in ACT, coastal southern QLD and NSW, and is the parent of many popular grevilleas including New Blood and Canterbury Gold; G rhyolitica comes from a small coastal area of NSW, in a wide range of habitats and environments, and is the parent of Deua Flame.
USE FOR: Lovely mass planting, groundcover, erosion control, in containers, or as a rockery plant. Great grevillea for attracting wildlife.
PLANTING: Plant in well drained soil, mulch well and water regularly until the plant is established. Apply a native plant fertiliser yearly. Prune after flowering to promote new growth and flowering.
CARE: Prefers a warm, sunny position in the garden and is relatively hardy once established. Feed with a slow release native fertiliser when buds form - grevilleas can be phosphorus-sensitive so the P ratio of the fertiliser needs to be under 3%.
HEIGHT & WIDTH: 30 cm H x up to 75 cm W.
