Description
The "Crimson Carpet" cultivar, a derivative of Grevillea laurifolia, drapes gardens in a luxurious blanket of rich, red flowers from Kambarang (late spring) to Djeran (autumn), with the added delight of sporadic blooms throughout the year. As an Australian native groundcover, it not only offers beauty but also low-maintenance versatility, making it a perfect choice for those seeking to add colour and texture to their outdoor spaces.
For optimal growth, plant "Crimson Carpet" directly in the ground, enhancing sandy soils with a top-notch soil conditioner. This resilient beauty gradually becomes drought-tolerant as it firmly establishes its roots. To ensure its vibrant floral display, feed it with a low-phosphorus native fertiliser come Djilba (early spring).
