About Deua Gold Grevillea
Botanically, Grevillea 'Deua Gold' is a shrub in the Proteaceae family, native to New South Wales. It reaches around 1 m tall and 1.5 m wide at maturity, with evergreen foliage. Yellow flowers appear in winter and spring.
Where to grow Deua Gold Grevillea
Deua Gold Grevillea suits warm-temperate and cool-temperate climates and grows best in full sun. It is frost hardy and shrugs off cold winters. It also is a genuinely water-wise choice.
Soil & planting
Deua Gold Grevillea does best in free-draining and sandy soil. Dig in plenty of compost before planting, water in well, and mulch to keep roots cool.
Watering & feeding
Deua Gold Grevillea performs well with relatively little water once established. As an Australian native, feed it only with a low-phosphorus native fertiliser — the Proteaceae are especially phosphorus-sensitive. For the first year, favour occasional deep watering over frequent shallow drinks so roots move into the surrounding soil.
Pruning & care
Prune Deua Gold Grevillea after flowering to keep it compact and encourage the next flush of blooms. Once established, it is low maintenance.
Using Deua Gold Grevillea in the garden
Deua Gold Grevillea earns its place for drawing nectar-feeding birds into the garden, a feature or specimen planting and pots and courtyard containers. It is equally at home in the ground or a large pot on a balcony or courtyard.
Companion planting & design
For easier irrigation and care, group Deua Gold Grevillea with species that also favour low water use and warm-temperate climate. Leave enough room for the mature spread so neighbouring plants are not crowded out. It combines naturally with other Australian natives in a habitat or water-wise garden.
