About Flora Mason Grevillea
Grevillea 'Flora Mason' is a shrub in the Proteaceae family, native to Australia. It reaches around 1.2 m tall and 1.5 m wide at maturity, with evergreen foliage. Orange and pink flowers appear for much of the year.
Where to grow Flora Mason Grevillea
Flora Mason Grevillea suits warm-temperate and subtropical climates and grows best in full sun. It is frost tender, so protect it from hard frosts or grow it in a sheltered spot or pot. It also is a genuinely water-wise choice.
Soil & planting
Flora Mason Grevillea does best in free-draining soil. Plant into well-prepared ground, firm the soil around the roots and water deeply to settle it in.
Watering & feeding
Flora Mason 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. New plantings need closer moisture checks in hot or windy weather, with watering tapered once strong new growth appears.
Pruning & care
Prune Flora Mason Grevillea after flowering to keep it compact and encourage the next flush of blooms. For most gardens, it is low maintenance.
Using Flora Mason Grevillea in the garden
Flora Mason 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
Flora Mason Grevillea sits most comfortably beside plants adapted to low water use and warm-temperate climate. A small cluster gives stronger visual impact than isolated plants scattered through the garden. It combines naturally with other Australian natives in a habitat or water-wise garden.
