Description:
Grevillea 'Red Coral' is a compact, evergreen shrub prized for its vibrant red flowers and finely textured, dark green foliage. This Australian native is versatile and hardy, making it ideal for garden borders, rockeries, and as a feature plant. Its bright blooms and attractive form bring color and structure to landscapes while attracting pollinators and wildlife.
Flowers:
'Red Coral' produces clusters of coral-red, spider-like flowers primarily in spring and autumn, with sporadic blooming throughout the year. The nectar-rich flowers attract birds, bees, and butterflies, adding life and movement to the garden.
Foliage:
The plant features narrow, dark green leaves with a soft, feathery appearance. The dense, finely textured foliage provides a beautiful contrast to the bold red flowers and adds year-round interest to the landscape.
Fruit:
This variety does not produce notable fruit, focusing its ornamental appeal on its flowers and foliage.
Form and Size:
'Red Coral' has a compact, rounded growth habit, typically reaching a height and spread of around 1 to 1.5 meters. Its dense form and moderate size make it suitable for borders, low hedges, or as a standalone specimen.
Growing Conditions:
This plant thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, adapting well to sandy and loamy soils. It is drought-tolerant once established and can handle light frost, making it suitable for various climates.
Uses:
'Red Coral' is versatile in the garden, suitable for use as a border plant, low hedge, or in rockeries. Its vibrant flowers and dense foliage make it ideal for wildlife gardens, pollinator-friendly plantings, and as an accent in mixed garden beds.
Maintenance:
This variety is low-maintenance, requiring minimal pruning. Light trimming after flowering will help maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Use a native-friendly, low-phosphorus fertilizer in spring to support healthy foliage and abundant blooms.
Notes:
'Red Coral' is a resilient and colorful addition to Australian gardens, known for its long blooming period and ease of care. Its ability to attract wildlife and provide structure makes it a valuable addition to native and ornamental landscapes.
Companion Plants:
Pairs well with other Australian natives such as Callistemon, Leptospermum, and Westringia. It also complements ground covers and ornamental grasses, enhancing the layered effect in naturalistic garden designs.
