Grevillea Magic Lantern
Grevillea x ‘Magic Lantern’
A small spreading shrub with silvery foliage made up of 5cm long divided leaves, the gorgeous ‘Magic Lantern’ produces bright red flowers in Winter and Spring that hang along the branches like lanterns. Suited to well-drained soil in a sunny or semi shaded position, it prefers dry summer conditions but will adapt to humid areas and is frost tolerant. Prune lightly after flowering to promote further flowering and encourage dense growth.
