Popular Grevillea Plant Types in New Zealand

Shrubby Grevillea Plant Types

Shrubby Grevilleas make excellent hedges or stand-alone feature plants. Their abundant blooms add vibrant splashes of colour, and many are drought-tolerant once established. Favourites among New Zealand gardeners include the Grevillea Clearview David (Clearview David Grevillea), which showcases a compact habit with masses of red flowers that entice bellbirds and tuis. Another standout is the Grevillea Gold Rush (Gold Rush Grevillea), prized for its golden-yellow flowers and lush, fast-growing nature.

Groundcover and Prostrate Grevillea

Groundcover Grevillea plant types are ideal for stabilising banks, filling gaps, or spilling over walls and rockeries. They typically have a spreading habit and low maintenance requirements. The Grevillea Bronze Rambler (Groundcover Grevillea) is a popular selection for its bronze-hued foliage and unique crimson blooms. For bold, textural foliage and reliable ground coverage, the Grevillea Gaudichaudii (Grevillea x gaudichaudii) is another excellent choice. Both varieties offer long periods of flowering and are tough performers in varied conditions.

Feature Grevillea Plant Types

Some Grevillea plant types are chosen for their ornamental foliage as much as their flowers. Grevillea Cream and Green (Cream and Green Grevillea) stands out with its unusual cream and green colour palette, making it a versatile option for mixed planting schemes.

Choosing the Right Grevillea Plant Types for Your Garden

When selecting Grevillea plant types, consider your space, garden aspect, and overall design goals. Shrubby types are perfect for screens or mixed borders, while groundcovers excel in tricky spots where you want quick coverage with a minimum of fuss. Most Grevilleas thrive in well-drained soil with full sun, and being drought-tolerant and hardy, they require minimal care once established.
