Grevillea 'Mount Tamborintha'

Planting Advice for your Grevillea:

• Grevillea prefers acid to neutral soil in full sun and will even tolerate poor soil as long as it drains well - although they do hate being wet and waterlogged.
• Water your potted plant well.
• Dig a hole a little deeper and 3 x wider than the nursery pot.
• Add a soil conditioner such as well-rotted manure to the earth removed from the hole if necessary.
• Remove the plant from its pot and tease out a few of the roots.
• Place your plant in the hole at the same level at the pot.
• Refill the hole with the earth removed (backfilling).
• Firm in the soil with your heel, avoiding the root ball.
• Water well and mulch around the base of the plant with a collar, compost, gravel, bark etc.

Aftercare advice for Mount Tamboritha:

• Hardy in coastal and relatively mild parts of the UK, where it can be grown outdoors in acid to neutral, well-drained soil. Otherwise grow in a pot with ericaceous compost with added grit in full light.
• Apply low phosphate, liquid fertiliser monthly when in growth.
• Plant can withstand temperatures down to -5°C (23°F) so winter protection may be necessary if temperatures fall below this.

Pruning Advice for Grevillea:

• Pruning should be unnecessary, although you can trim plants to restrict height and spread.
