Furry green leaves are closely held on low stems with cream and pink flowers in tight clusters during spring and summer. THis is a great groundcover for banks and dry gardens. Sun, well drained soil (usually the poorer, the better), and occasional to no supplemental watering when established. Many grevilleas are sensitive to phosphorus; never use high-phosphate fertilizers and, in general, feed them sparingly if at all.
