Grevillea nudiflora

Location

This prostrate grevillea occurs in southern Western Australia from Cape Arid to near Albany in a variety of soils.

We’ve used this tough plant in many places around our Garden. You can see it performing well in Bed 14c in the Connections Garden, and in the dry stone wall beds of the Banksia Garden.

There are a number of forms with different leaf shapes. This form also has small bright red and yellow flowers which grow on long, leafless stems around the circumference of the plant.

It is an adaptable, hardy plant which, once established, can tolerate extended dry periods and frosts. It prefers a full sun to dappled shade position in well-drained soil. As you can see, it looks beautiful cascading over a retaining wall and also works well in rockeries or large hanging baskets. Most good native nurseries will have at least one form for sale.
