info		 Grevilleas are drought tolerant, but they’ll want infrequent additional summer water at least every couple of weeks once established. They prefer well-drained soil, but they’re less picky than some of the other proteaceous plants. Since this grevillea grows as a ground cover it tends to hold moisture in, allowing you to water less frequently.

Growing Notes

Makes a very low dense mat.
This plant can be maintained by pruning back the branches, but why would you! It just looks so good cascading out of a pot, spilling down a hillside or over a rock wall.
