Moonlight Grevillea is a statuesque and elegant evergreen shrub that brings a luminous, soft presence to the drought-tolerant garden. In spring, it produces an abundance of long, cylindrical, brush-like flower spikes in a striking creamy-white to pale yellow color. These unusual blooms, with their prominent, extended styles, are a favorite of hummingbirds. Its foliage is finely divided, soft, and feathery, adding a fine texture. With an upright, spreading habit and exceptional resilience, it makes a superb, low-care screen, windbreak, or architectural specimen for large sunny spaces.

Luminous Creamy-White Blooms: Bears prolific, candle-like flower spikes in a unique, soft moonlight-yellow hue, creating a bright display against the green foliage.
Excellent Bird-Attracting Shrub: The nectar-rich flowers are a prime food source for hummingbirds and honeyeaters, adding lively wildlife activity.
Fast-Growing & Excellent for Screening: Its vigorous, upright growth quickly forms a dense, large shrub, making it ideal for creating a tall, informal privacy screen or windbreak.
Extremely Drought & Heat Tolerant: Once established, it thrives with minimal to no summer water and excels in hot, sunny, and well-drained locations.
Low-Maintenance & Adaptable: Requires no fertilizer and little pruning. Tolerates poor soils, coastal conditions, and light frost.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

If you’re unsure which size or form fits your project, our team is happy to help you select the best option based on your space, timeline, and design goals.

Q: How often should it be watered?
A: Water deeply to establish a strong root system in the first year. Once established, it is extremely drought-tolerant and may only need deep watering once a month or less during the hottest, driest part of the summer. Overwatering is detrimental.

Q: When and how should it be pruned?
A: Prune after the main spring flowering to maintain shape and encourage denser growth. Avoid cutting into old, bare wood. It can be tip-pruned when young to promote a bushier form.
