grevillea ground cover bunnings

Why Choose Grevillea as a Ground Cover?

Grevillea ground covers are prized for their easygoing nature and adaptability. These spreading shrubs thrive in full sun or partial shade, tolerate dry spells, and cope well with most soil types – even sandy or poor soils. The dense growth habit suppresses weeds, reduces erosion, and forms a living carpet that supports biodiversity.

With striking flowers throughout the year, grevillea ground covers provide reliable colour and a welcoming environment for tui, bellbirds, and other pollinators. Their tough, evergreen leaves ensure your garden remains green and vibrant all year round. They’re also naturally resistant to many common garden pests and diseases, making them a smart, sustainable choice for low-maintenance landscaping.

Tips for Planting and Caring for Grevillea Ground Covers

When planting grevillea ground covers, ensure well-draining soil and space plants 1–1.5 metres apart for full coverage. Water well during establishment, then reduce as plants become drought-tolerant. Prune lightly after flowering to encourage bushiness and keep growth dense. Avoid fertilisers high in phosphorus, as grevilleas prefer lean soils.
