Grevillea robusta
Grevillea robusta is a fast-growing evergreen, subtropical tree. This decorative eye-catcher has beautiful dense, silver/green-colored fern-like foliage. Grevillea robusta is native to subtropical parts of Australia, where it grows both on the coast and inland, especially near riverbanks and streams. Grevillea is extremely versatile. Outdoors in a mild to warm climate, it is very suitable as a powerful tree, hedge, or container plant. As a mature tree, it can reach a height of 35 meters, with beautiful golden-orange flowers in spring and summer. It is also very suitable as a low-growing houseplant.
