Description
"Coconut Ice" Grevillea, a medium shrub, is a vibrant member of the renowned Grevillea bipinnatifida x banksii hybrid family. It enchants with blossoms that vary from radiant red to light orange, ensuring a delightful splash of colour in gardens throughout the year. Its captivating hues make it a favourite among gardeners aiming for a perpetual display of warmth and charm.
When planting "Coconut Ice" in the ground, consider adding a soil conditioner, especially if the soil leans on the sandy side. Its adaptability becomes more evident with time, as the shrub showcases commendable drought resistance once it's well-rooted. Come Djilba (early spring), a dose of low-phosphorus native fertiliser will ensure the plant remains vivacious, keeping the garden's allure consistent year-round.
