A frost tolerant ground cover, Grevillea laurifolia is commonly called the “Blue Mountain Rambler”.

It grows best in a sunny position, the foliage is rounded or oval shaped and the flowers as a bright red.

With a long flowering period, from winter through spring, and attractive foliage this an underused plant.

It really reaches more than 10 cm in height and will spread over 3 metres plus. As the common name suggests it is from the Blue Mountains.

Care

In a well drained soil and a sunny position this is a very low maintenance plant once established.

Plant Grevillea laurifolia where it will have room to spread, it could be grown along the top of a low retaining wall and allowed to cascade over the edge.

  • Weed and dig the soil over well.
  • In areas of poor drainage consider raining the garden bd by hilling up the soil.
  • Plant at the same depth as it was in the container.
  • Water in well with a liquid seaweed fertiliser.
  • Mulch around the plant to help prevent weeds and maintain a cool root run.

Pruning

Light pruning will maintain a more bushy habit.
