Description
The Grevillea rosmarinifolia x lanigera "Emma Charlotte" offers an exquisite display of reddish-pink and cream blossoms from Makuru (winter) to Kambarang (late spring). As a medium-sized shrub, its vibrant blooms not only add a splash of colour but also make it an irresistible magnet for nectar-loving birds. Positioning "Emma Charlotte" in a garden instantly elevates the space, giving it a lively focal point or acting as an elegant backdrop amidst other foliage.
For optimal growth, plant "Emma Charlotte" in the ground, and in regions with sandy soils, enhance with a soil conditioner for better nutrient retention. Once established, this Australian gem becomes admirably drought-hardy. To keep it flourishing with radiance, nourish with a low-phosphorus native fertiliser during Djilba (early spring).
