Description
Grevillea "Little Robyn", a hybrid of Grevillea banksii x bipinnatifida, boasts vibrant pinkish-red blooms that dominate from Djeran (autumn) through to Kambarang (late spring), with occasional spot flowers lighting up the rest of the year. As a medium-sized shrub, it provides a delightful focal point in any garden, and its flowers are a beacon for native birds, adding both colour and lively avian activity to your outdoor space.
For those keen on a hardy Australian native, "Little Robyn" fits the bill. It prefers being planted in the ground and if you're contending with sandy soils, a soil conditioner will enhance its growth. This shrub becomes notably drought-tolerant once established. A touch of low-phosphorus native fertiliser in Djilba (early spring) will help it maintain its lush appearance.
