Description
The "Prostrate Form" of Grevillea crithmifolia offers an exceptional combination of beauty and resilience. As a sprawling groundcover, it presents gardeners with creamy white blossoms from Djilba to Kambarang (early to late spring). This Western Australian native adds a robust charm to gardens, making it an excellent choice for those wanting to establish a hard-wearing yet striking ground feature.
When planting "Prostrate Form", opt for in-ground conditions, and for those dealing with sandy soils, the addition of a soil conditioner will prove beneficial. Once fully rooted, this small shrub reveals its drought-hardy nature. For a vibrant floral display, a feed with a low-phosphorus native fertiliser during Djilba (early spring) is recommended.
