Grevilleas are native to Australia, but their adaptability makes them perfectly suited to New Zealand’s varied climates. These evergreen shrubs and groundcovers offer reliable performance, robust growth, and year-round interest. Grevillea varieties NZ gardeners often choose are drought-tolerant, frost-resistant, and handle coastal conditions well. They’re also a magnet for birds—especially tui and silvereyes—thanks to their nectar-rich blooms.

Grevillea Care Tips

Grevilleas are generally low-care, preferring full sun or partial shade and well-draining soils. Mulch around the base, but avoid high-phosphorus fertilisers—they can be sensitive to phosphate. Prune lightly after flowering to encourage a bushier habit and repeat blooms. With the right grevillea varieties NZ gardeners can enjoy an attractive, bird-friendly garden year-round.
