Description
The "Bedspread" cultivar of Grevillea, botanically part of a complex Grevillea wilkinsonii hybrida, boasts an exquisite reddish-pink bloom from Djilba to Kambarang (early to late spring) and again in Djeran (autumn). This cascading groundcover with holly-like leaves is an Australian native that's guaranteed to captivate with its unique appearance, making it perfect for garden enthusiasts who wish to add a touch of down under to their landscapes.
When establishing "Bedspread" in the ground, it's beneficial to amend poor, sandy soils with a quality soil conditioner to provide a supportive environment. Positioned best in full sun, this resilient Grevillea requires consistent watering initially but will become increasingly drought-tolerant as it matures. For optimum growth, a dose of low-phosphorus native fertiliser in Djilba (early spring) will ensure it flourishes throughout the year.
