Grevilleas are a Native Australian Plant Family of around 360 species famous for their evergreen foliage and often bright and colourful flowers. Also known as Spider Flowers, Grevillea are typically shrubs in form and tend to be relatively hardy and drought tolerant. Their flowers are great for attracting birds, especially honeyeaters. Being a large family they offer significant variation for garden design whether used in their organic form or as screening plants, manicured into hedges, grafted as standards or as groundcovers, the Grevillea can cover many bases. Here we take a glance through some of the best of the Grevillea Plant family! We hope you enjoy and if you find this exploration inspiring don’t forget to share!
