Why It’s a Great Idea to Plant in Winter
Grevillea lanigera ‘Cherry Ripe’ is a hardy, low-growing native shrub loved for its vibrant flowers and soft, woolly foliage. Compact and evergreen, it’s perfect for smaller gardens, borders, and native landscapes, providing year-round texture and colour.
Produces masses of cherry-red and pink spider-like flowers from late winter through spring, with spot flowering throughout the year. The blooms are rich in nectar and attract bees, butterflies, and small native birds.
Features soft, fine-textured, grey-green leaves with a slightly woolly feel, adding an attractive contrast to the bright flowers.
Occasionally forms small seed capsules, though they are not a key ornamental feature.
A compact, spreading shrub typically growing to around 60 cm high and 1.5 m wide, making it ideal for groundcover.
