Description
"Robyn Gordon", a cultivar of the Grevillea bipinnatifida x banksii species, adorns gardens with its striking blooms that transition from red to orange-yellow all year round. A medium shrub, it's a popular choice in gardens across Australia, drawing in native birds and earning its status as a proven winner.
When setting "Robyn Gordon" in the ground, enriching sandy soils with a conditioner ensures this champion thrives. As the plant matures, it stands tall against drought, showcasing its native Australian resilience. A dose of low-phosphorus native fertiliser in Djilba (early spring) keeps this crowd-favourite looking its best, ensuring it remains the talk of the neighbourhood.
