Description
"Charlie's Angel" Grevillea is every garden's top agent, bringing with it a dramatic display of red and yellow flowers all year round. This cultivar is a random mutation from Grevillea alpina x rosmarinifolia "Bonnie Prince Charlie" and, just like Charlie's leading ladies, it stands out with flowers that are slightly redder and more dazzling. Its compact size, being smaller than its parent, ensures it doesn't overshadow other garden stars.
For optimal performance, plant "Charlie's Angel" in the ground in sunny spots. If dealing with sandy soil, remember to call in some quality soil conditioner for backup. During Djilba (early spring), it’s mission-critical to supply a low-phosphorus native fertiliser, ensuring this Grevillea remains in its prime, ready to tackle any garden mission.
