Description
The "Apricot Glow" cultivar of Grevillea (Grevillea olivacea) promises to be a radiant addition to any garden, displaying vibrant orange blooms from Makuru to Djilba (winter to early spring). As a large shrub, it stands out not just for its arresting hues but also as a favourite amongst native birds, enhancing the local ecology. Native to Western Australia, this Grevillea has a natural flair for the dramatic, ensuring it's a showstopper in any setting.
When nestled in the ground, it's a good practice to boost poor or sandy soils with a quality soil conditioner. Over time, the "Apricot Glow" proves its worth with its increased drought tolerance. For a truly glowing performance, it's advisable to feed this native beauty with a low-phosphorus fertiliser come Djilba (early spring).
