Grevillea Gold Rush

Grevillea Gold Rush is a small growing native shrub showcasing vibrant golden yellow flowers during spring and summer. Grows to 1M

Grevillea ‘Gold Rush’ is a compact, evergreen Australian native shrub resulting from a cross between Grevillea alpina and Grevillea rosmarinifolia. It typically reaches about 1 meter in height and width. The plant features slender, rosemary-like foliage and produces clusters of vibrant golden-yellow flowers with contrasting red stamens during spring and summer.

Cultivation and Care:

• Position: Prefers full sun to partial shade.
• Soil: Thrives in well-drained soils.
• Watering: Drought-tolerant once established, but benefits from occasional watering during extended dry periods.
• Frost Tolerance: Frost hardy.
• Pruning: Light pruning after flowering promotes a dense habit and encourages more blooms.
• Fertilization: Use a slow-release, low-phosphorus native fertilizer when buds form, as grevilleas can be sensitive to phosphorus.

Landscape Uses:

Grevillea Gold Rush is ideal for native gardens, general landscaping, rockeries, and decorative pots. Its vibrant flowers attract birds and butterflies, adding life to any garden setting.

In Melbourne’s climate, ‘Gold Rush’ should perform well, given its adaptability to various conditions. Ensure it’s planted in a spot with good drainage and receives adequate sunlight for optimal growth and flowering.
