Why Choose Low Growing Grevillea?

Low growing grevillea stay compact, usually spreading outwards rather than upwards, making them suitable for small gardens, retaining walls, or filling awkward spaces with colourful groundcover. Their drought tolerance and resilience to poor soils mean they're ideal for New Zealand’s changing climate and challenging sites. Many cultivars also offer excellent weed suppression, reducing garden maintenance while keeping landscapes tidy.

Outstanding Low Growing Grevillea Varieties

New Zealand gardeners have a fantastic selection of low growing grevillea to choose from. Some of our most popular and reliable performers include:

Grevillea Firecracker (Firecracker Grevillea): Renowned for its dense habit and masses of bright red and golden flowers. Its compact size makes it perfect for borders or as an impressive focal point in rockeries.
Grevillea Sunkissed: With soft, ferny foliage and vibrant yellow blooms, this variety creates a soft carpet of colour in garden beds or spilling over retaining walls.
Grevillea Prostrate Gold (Grevillea juniperina Prostrate Gold): An exceptionally hardy prostrate variety, ideal for erosion control. It shines with cheerful golden-yellow flowers and thrives in sunny, well-drained spots.
Grevillea Baby (Grevillea thelemanniana Baby): Compact and tough, perfect for small gardens or container planting. Its neat foliage and vibrant red flowers attract birds and add a pop of colour.
Grevillea Coastal Gem (Coastal Gem Grevillea): A reliable ground-hugger with dense leaves and stunning clusters of pinkish flowers, perfect for coastal and exposed gardens.

Ideal Uses for Low Growing Grevillea in Your Garden

Low growing grevillea are extremely versatile. Use them as flowering groundcovers for weed suppression, drape them over banks to stabilise soil, or plant in garden beds for subtle colour and native habitat value. For a natural, easy-care look, mix several varieties together—their differing flower colours and foliage textures create year-round visual interest. They’re also an excellent choice for low coastal gardens, as many grevillea have good salt and wind tolerance.

Growing and Caring for Low Growing Grevillea

All low growing grevillea need a sunny position and well-drained soil. Once established, most varieties are drought tolerant and require minimal water in summer. Prune annually after flowering to maintain a dense habit and encourage more blooms. Avoid phosphorus-rich fertilisers, as grevilleas prefer native-plant fertilisers.
