Description
Grevillea sessilis x paradoxa "Dorothy Gordon" captures attention with its unique gorgeous purple-pink flowers that brighten gardens year-round. This medium to large-sized shrub stands as a testament to nature's artistry, gaining popularity for its distinctively vibrant hue. Suited as both a striking centrepiece or as part of a colourful garden ensemble, "Dorothy Gordon" never fails to impress.
Best planted in the ground, "Dorothy Gordon" flourishes with a touch of soil conditioner especially in sandy terrains. As the shrub matures, it showcases a resilience against drought, making garden maintenance a breeze. To ensure its radiant blossoms persist, feed with a low-phosphorus native fertiliser during Djilba (early spring), keeping the radiant display at its peak.
