Grevillea Firesprite
Grevillea venusta x longistulla ‘Firesprite’
Grevillea ‘Firesprite’ is a favourite of the birds as it is flush with bright red nectar laden flowers for most of the year. Firesprite has deeply lobed mid-green leaves that contrast against rust coloured stems, giving it a very attractive appearance. This drought hardy plant is happiest in full sun, and is a great feature or screening plant.
