Description
The Woolly Grevillea "Mello Yellow", scientifically known as Grevillea lanigera, showcases soft, lime-yellow flowers that paint gardens with a gentle glow year-round. This Australian native groundcover doesn't merely offer visual appeal; it serves as a feathery mat that invites native birds to frolic and perch. Its evergreen nature combined with its flowering prowess makes it a lovely canvas for nature's daily exhibitions.
For best results with "Mello Yellow", plant it in the ground, ensuring improved conditions for those dealing with sandy soils by adding a soil conditioner. Over time, this Woolly Grevillea reveals its hardy nature, becoming more drought-resistant once well-established. Cater to its needs with a touch of low-phosphorus native fertiliser during Djilba (early spring), and watch it thrive in your garden tapestry.
