Grevillea Knockout (Knockout Grevillea)

Knockout Grevillea

Grevillea Knockout, commonly known as Spider Flower, is a fast growing, dense shrub which is grown for its spikes of exquisite, bright red and yellow, spider-like flowers during winter and spring. These are held abreast of the fine, mid-green foliage as it grows to 75 cm tall and 1 m wide. Grevillea Knockout is commonly included in mixed plantings, added to Mediterranean themed gardens, used for hedging, grown around pool and other living areas, or mass planted on a bank or the like for a magical display. It is also well suited to being maintained in a container or planted to brighten a dull spot in the garden.

Grevillea Knockout Features

Grevillea Knockout NZ stands out for its stunning clusters of scarlet flowers, which bloom generously from late winter through spring. The deep green, finely-divided leaves create a lush backdrop that highlights the vivid blooms. This shrub typically reaches 1.5 to 2 metres in height and width, forming a compact, bushy shape ideal for hedges, screening, or standalone feature planting.

One of the greatest benefits is its adaptability; Grevillea Knockout flourishes in a range of soils, especially those that are well-drained. It’s drought-tolerant once established, making it an excellent option for water-wise gardening and coastal NZ gardens. The flowers are loaded with nectar, attracting tui, waxeyes, and other native birds. Plus, grevilleas are notorious for their resilience to pests and diseases, ensuring a tidy, healthy garden with minimal fuss.

Planting and Caring for Grevillea Knockout NZ

If you’re planning to add Grevillea Knockout NZ to your landscape, plant it in a sunny spot that’s sheltered from harsh wind. While it tolerates light frosts, young plants appreciate protection during their first winters. Dig in plenty of organic matter and avoid heavy clay soils—grevilleas prefer an acidic to neutral pH.

Water your grevillea regularly during the first year to establish deep roots. Once mature, the plant requires little supplemental watering. Light pruning after flowering encourages bushier growth and keeps the plant tidy. Grevilleas appreciate occasional feeding with a low-phosphorus fertiliser; otherwise, they thrive with minimal intervention.

Grevillea Knockout NZ in Landscape Design

Grevillea Knockout seamlessly integrates into native gardens, mixed borders, and contemporary landscapes. Its compact habit and vivid colour make it perfect for pairing with other grevilleas and showy shrubs. You can combine it with other popular choices like Grevillea Bronze Rambler (Groundcover Grevillea), Grevillea Cream and Green (Cream and Green Grevillea), or groundcover options such as Grevillea Gaudichaudii (Grevillea x gaudichaudii). For contrasting textures and colours, try mixing with flowering shrubs like Hibiscus 'Blue Thunder', Azalea Elsie Lee, or Hydrangea 'Strawberry Parfait'.
