Grevillea lanigera 'Coastal Gem'

This is a ground-hugging shrub, normally 1' or less in height and 5' or possibly more in breadth. The limber stems are crowded with furry, grey-green leaves, narrow in outline and 1/4-1/2" in length. Crowded clusters of pinkish buds develop by early fall, opening gradually into deep rose-pink and cream-colored flowers. The show may last until March or April. This is a fine low-maintenance ground cover, thriving in full sun or light shade in most non-alkaline soils, with moderate to occasional, deep watering. It is hardy to around 20° F.
