Grevillea robusta
Grevillea robusta is fast-growing evergreen, subtropical tree. This decorative stunner has beautiful dense, silvery fern-like foliage. Grevillea robusta is native to subtropical parts of Australia, where it grows in coastal areas as well as the inland, especially close to river banks and streams. Grevillea is super versatile. Outdoors in mild to warm climates it’s well-suited as a vigorous tree, a hedge or a container plant. As a full grown tree it can reach a height of 35 meters, with stunning golden orange flowers in spring and summer. As a low growing houseplant it is highly adaptable as well.
