About Gold Cluster Grevillea
Grevillea 'Gold Cluster' is a fast-growing spreading groundcover in the Proteaceae family, native to Australia. It reaches around 40 cm tall and 2 m wide at maturity, with evergreen foliage. Yellow flowers appear for much of the year.
Where to grow Gold Cluster Grevillea
Gold Cluster Grevillea suits warm-temperate, Mediterranean and subtropical climates and grows best in full sun. It is frost hardy and shrugs off cold winters. It also is a genuinely water-wise choice and tolerates salt-laden coastal winds.
Soil & planting
Gold Cluster Grevillea does best in free-draining, sandy and clay soil. Plant into well-prepared ground, firm the soil around the roots and water deeply to settle it in.
Watering & feeding
Gold Cluster Grevillea handles dry conditions well 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 Gold Cluster Grevillea after flowering to keep it compact and encourage the next flush of blooms. Its ongoing care level is low maintenance.
Using Gold Cluster Grevillea in the garden
Gold Cluster Grevillea earns its place for holding soil on banks and slopes, pots and courtyard containers and drawing nectar-feeding birds into the garden. It is equally at home in the ground or a large pot on a balcony or courtyard.
Companion planting & design
Build the planting around neighbours suited to the same very drought tolerant and warm-temperate climate as Gold Cluster Grevillea. Repeating the foliage or flower colour nearby will make the composition feel deliberate. It combines naturally with other Australian natives in a habitat or water-wise garden.
