GREVILLEA GROUND COVER Grevillea X Gaudichaudii

• Age
  • Planted 27th Januray 2005. Purchased from wild plant rescue
  • Early 2006 around the pond, x 2
• Where it's Growing
  • Full sun exposed areas of the far top of the garden and in the front garden on a steep exposed slope.
• Upkeep
  • These need a fair bit of upkeep. They seem to rot very easily if covered up with leaf litter or mulch. Especially in winter or when it's wet. We do have to keep a close eye on them. They don't like fertilisers at all.
• Growth Patterns
  • If they do start growing, they grow very well. But they are a bit pretentious and take a while to establish themselves before they start to grow.
  • Flowers Early spring.
• Future Notes
  • 13.8.07- The two around the pond are starting to flower heavily & are thriving. They do get a decent amount of water and sun compared to the one up the far backyard which is struggling & has always struggled.
