Description

Long John Grevillea is a dramatic, large shrub celebrated for its exceptionally long and vivid pink flower clusters. In spring, it becomes adorned with sprawling, spider-like inflorescences that can reach up to 6 inches in length, in a bright candy-pink to rose-red color. These spectacular blooms are a major attraction for hummingbirds. With an open, spreading habit and soft, pinnate foliage, it creates a bold, textural statement. It is fast-growing and remarkably tough, ideal for creating a large, informal screen or as a specimen in a spacious, sunny garden.

  • Spectacular Long Pink Flower Clusters: Renowned for its unusually long, arching, pink to deep rose flower clusters that create a breathtaking display in spring.

  • Fast-Growing Architectural Shrub: Quickly reaches a substantial size, developing an open, wide-spreading form with graceful, arching branches.

  • Major Hummingbird Attractant: The prolific, nectar-rich blooms are a powerful draw for hummingbirds during the flowering season.

  • Extremely Drought & Heat Hardy: Once established, it thrives with very little water and is perfectly adapted to hot, dry, and sunny exposures.

  • Ideal for Large Spaces & Screening: Its size and rapid growth make it perfect for quickly covering a large bank, creating a tall, informal screen, or as a standout specimen.

Faqs

Q: How much space does it need?
A: It needs plenty of room to reach its full potential. Plant it with at least 8-10 feet of clearance from structures or other large plants to accommodate its mature width.

Q: Does it require special soil?
A: It demands excellent drainage. It is adaptable to most soil types (sand, clay, loam) provided they are well-draining. It will not tolerate heavy, waterlogged soil. Planting on a slope or mound is beneficial in clay soils.
