Grevillea

Grevilleas – Vibrant, Bird-Attracting Natives for Brisbane Gardens

Grevilleas are one of the most diverse and adaptable plant groups in Australian gardening, with hundreds of varieties available to suit Brisbane’s climate. With species ranging from delicate groundcovers to tall screening shrubs and even small trees, there’s a Grevillea to fit every space, style, and function.

With over 360 species and countless hybrids, the variety in shape, size, texture, and colour is immense. Leaves can be fine and fern-like, broad and leathery, or needle-like, while flowers come in a dazzling array of reds, oranges, pinks, yellows, and creams. Many Grevilleas bloom almost year-round, filling the garden with colour and attracting birds and pollinators.

With a vast selection to choose from, Grevilleas suit every garden style. Regular trimming helps maintain shape, encourages fresh growth, and prolongs flowering. Many varieties also make excellent cut flowers, bringing their beauty indoors.

Why Grow Grevilleas?

+ Huge variety – From compact groundcovers to feature shrubs
+ Bird and pollinator-friendly – Nectar-rich flowers attract wildlife
+ Low-maintenance & drought-tolerant – Once established, they thrive with minimal care
+ Great for cut flowers – Long-lasting blooms with striking colours

Grafted Grevilleas – Why Choose Them?

Grafted Grevilleas are specially cultivated to combine the best traits of different species. By grafting desirable flowering varieties onto hardy rootstocks, these plants gain improved vigour, increased disease resistance, and the ability to thrive in a wider range of soils, including heavier clay. This makes them ideal for Brisbane gardens, particularly in challenging growing conditions.
