Planting Advice for your Grevillea Collection:
- They will grow well in poor, free-draining soil and don't like being waterlogged, so are ideally suited to raised beds or rockeries.
- While Grevilleas will adapt to most soil types, they do prefer to get their roots into a neutral to acid soil, so it may help to incorporate a little ericaceous compost to the planting hole.
- Happy to grow in pots too on the patio or balcony, so you don't even need a garden to enjoy them!
- If growing them in a pot, add grit or sand to the compost to improve drainage. Prune lightly in spring after the first flush of flowers to keep plants looking at their best.
Aftercare Advice for Grevillea:
- Water regularly until established. Grevillea will withstand periods of drought but will perform better if watered during dry periods.
- A layer of mulch will help to conserve moisture and supress weeds - avoid piling mulch around the stem, leave a clear area.
Pruning Advice for Grevillea:
- The tips of branches can be pruned when flowers fade to encourage more blooms.
- If plants become leggy, they can be cut back by about one-third during the warmer months, ideally after a heavy flush of flowers, to stimulate bushy new growth.
