Description:
Grevillea juniperina 'Prostrate Gold', commonly known as Prostrate Gold Grevillea, is a low-growing, spreading evergreen shrub with dense, fine-textured foliage and bright golden flowers. This Australian native is highly valued for its ground-covering habit and ability to attract wildlife, making it ideal for rockeries, borders, and erosion control on slopes. Its vibrant blooms and hardy nature make it a popular choice for a wide range of landscapes.
Flowers:
In spring and early summer, 'Prostrate Gold' produces clusters of small, golden-yellow, spider-like flowers along its stems. These nectar-rich blooms attract birds, bees, and butterflies, adding life and movement to the garden.
Foliage:
The plant features needle-like, dark green leaves that give it a dense, juniper-like appearance. The fine-textured foliage forms a lush carpet, providing year-round interest and contrasting beautifully with the bright yellow flowers.
Fruit:
This variety does not produce notable fruit, as its primary ornamental value lies in its flowers and foliage.
Form and Size:
'Prostrate Gold' has a prostrate, spreading growth habit, reaching a height of 20 to 30 cm and spreading up to 2 meters wide. Its low-growing, dense form makes it ideal for ground cover and erosion control.
Growing Conditions:
This plant thrives in full sun and is adaptable to a range of well-draining soil types, including sandy and loamy soils. It is highly drought-tolerant once established and can withstand light frost, making it suitable for a variety of climates.
Uses:
'Prostrate Gold' is versatile in landscaping, often used as a ground cover, in rockeries, or on slopes for erosion control. Its compact form and bright blooms make it an excellent choice for borders and underplanting, and its ability to attract wildlife enhances the biodiversity of garden spaces.
Maintenance:
This variety is low-maintenance, requiring minimal pruning. Light trimming after flowering can help maintain a neat appearance and encourage denser growth. Apply a native-friendly, low-phosphorus fertilizer in spring to support healthy foliage and flowering.
Notes:
Prostrate Gold Grevillea is a resilient and attractive choice for Australian gardens, particularly in areas where a low-maintenance ground cover is desired. Its bright blooms and wildlife-attracting qualities make it a valuable addition to native gardens.
Companion Plants:
Pairs well with other ground covers and small shrubs such as Correa, Dianella, and Lomandra. It also complements native grasses and low-growing perennials, enhancing the natural look of garden beds.
