Description
The Grevillea "Outback Sunrise", a complex Grevillea amigera hybrid, captures the essence of the Australian landscape with its year-round blossoming of yellow flowers accentuated by bright red styles. This medium to large-sized shrub, a proud creation of Kings Park, doesn't just shine with its florals, but also acts as a beacon for native birds, adding both colour and chirps to gardens. A genuine native, this Grevillea brings a touch of the outback's beauty to any setting.
When planted in the ground, it's beneficial to boost sandy soils with a soil conditioner, ensuring a thriving environment for "Outback Sunrise". Over time, its robust nature shines through, revealing admirable drought resilience; however, a sprinkle of low-phosphorus native fertiliser during Djilba (early spring) will keep it at its best. Gentle hands maintain its pristine appearance, with only light pruning recommended for upkeep.
