Description
The "Tucker Time® Fruit Box" cultivar of the Grevillea (Grevillea lanigera x rosmarinifolia) is a small shrub that packs a punch of pinkish-red to creamy white flowers from Djeran (autumn) to Kambarang (late spring). These radiant blooms are a magnet for native birds, turning your garden into a lively haven. For gardeners seeking both visual appeal and bird attraction, "Tucker Time® Fruit Box" is a splendid choice.
Plant this gem in the ground, and consider using a soil conditioner to enhance poor, sandy soils. Once established, this native Australian shrub showcases impressive drought-resilience. Come Djilba (early spring), treat it to a dose of low-phosphorus native fertiliser to keep it thriving and vibrant.
