Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Grevillea olivacea paints a striking picture in gardens, boasting vivid red flowers from Makuru to Djilba (winter to early spring). As a large, fast-growing shrub, it not only enlivens spaces with its fiery hues but also becomes a magnet for native birds, adding a lively chorus to its visual splendour. With roots in Western Australia, this Grevillea is a proud emblem of native beauty, destined to be a garden's crowning jewel.

When sown in the ground, amending poor or sandy soils with a dedicated soil conditioner can pave the way for its optimal growth. As the plant matures, it demonstrates commendable drought resilience, though it appreciates a treat of low-phosphorus native fertiliser come Djilba (early spring). To maintain its majestic display, remember to indulge it with light, regular pruning, steering clear of heavy cuts to ensure its longevity.
