Description

Scarlet Sprite Rosemary Grevillea is a compact, fine-textured shrub that resembles rosemary in leaf but offers a spectacular floral bonus. Its narrow, needle-like foliage is a rich green, forming a dense, rounded mound. Throughout the year, and especially in spring, it becomes dotted with clusters of vivid scarlet-red, spider-like flowers that contrast beautifully with the foliage. This tough, adaptable plant is ideal for creating a low, water-wise hedge, adding structure to borders, or planting in containers where its neat habit and colorful blooms can be appreciated.

  • Rosemary-Like Foliage & Scarlet Blooms: Combines attractive, fine, rosemary-like evergreen leaves with bright red flowers for multi-season interest.

  • Dense, Compact, Rounded Habit: Naturally forms a very tidy, rounded shrub that requires minimal pruning to maintain its shape, perfect for formal or informal settings.

  • Extended Blooming & Bird Friendly: Flowers sporadically throughout the year with a spring peak, providing nectar for small birds and insects.

  • Highly Drought & Heat Tolerant: Once established, it thrives with minimal summer water and excels in hot, sunny, well-drained locations.

  • Superior Hedge & Border Plant: An excellent, low-maintenance alternative to traditional hedge plants like boxwood, offering the bonus of colorful flowers.

Faqs

Q: How fast does it grow and how can I make it denser?
A: It has a moderate growth rate. To encourage a denser form from a young age, tip-prune the new growth regularly. Once established, an annual light trim after the main spring bloom will maintain its density and shape.

Q: Can it be grown in partial shade?
A: It prefers full sun for the densest growth and best flowering. It will tolerate very light afternoon shade, but may become slightly more open and flower less profusely.
