Grevillea ‘Robyn Gordon’ is among the best-known Australian native garden plants — a hybrid in the family Proteaceae raised at the Gordon family garden in Queensland. It forms a spreading evergreen shrub to about 1.8 m, smothered for most of the year in red “toothbrush” flowers that are irresistible to honeyeaters.
Hardy, drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, it suits water-wise gardens, large containers and informal screens across warm-temperate, Mediterranean and even semi-arid climates. Like other Proteaceae it needs free drainage and low-phosphorus feeding.
