Description
"Molonglo", a cultivar of Grevillea (Grevillea juniperina), captivates with its bright orange-yellow blooms from Djeran (autumn) to Kambarang (late spring). As a mounding groundcover, it brings texture with its very spiky foliage, and its flowers are a magnet for native birds, adding vibrancy and life to any garden setting.
Planting "Molonglo" in the ground calls for an added touch of soil conditioner to enrich sandy soils. The plant proves its toughness by becoming increasingly drought-hardy once fully rooted. For flourishing foliage and blossoms, apply a low-phosphorus native fertiliser during Djilba (early spring).
