Description
"Karijini Moon", a stunning cultivar from the Grevillea family (a complex Grevillea hybrid), graces gardens with vibrant red blossoms all year round, standing as a testament to its breeding by Kings Park. This medium to large shrub features eye-catching silvery-green foliage, with flower buds that start as pure white, creating a captivating transition to their full red glory. The inclusion of this beauty promises a continual splash of colour and texture, making it a garden focal point.
For those wishing to introduce "Karijini Moon" into their spaces, planting in the ground and amending poor, sandy soils with a soil conditioner will provide the perfect start. As it grows, its drought-hardy characteristics begin to shine, requiring less maintenance in drier conditions. A treat of low-phosphorus native fertiliser in Djilba (early spring) ensures the continual, vibrant display of its blooms.
