A great winter performer

• An explosion of colour from April to October
• Birds flock to the nectar-rich flowers
• Compact and easy to manage shape - great for pots

Grevillea 'Fire Cracker' delivers a spectacular explosion of red and orange flowers, highlighted against soft evergreen foliage. Flowering heavily throughout the colder months of late winter and early spring, this low-growing Grevillea will bring nectar feeding native birds flocking to your garden. Grows 80cm W x 40cm H.

‘Fire Cracker’ is an extremely tough plant, growing happily through winter frosts as well as the hot summer sun. A proven garden and landscape performer that will keep on delivering with very little maintenance. 

Plant in full sun in free draining soil.

Care

Extremely hardy in most soil types which are well draining. Frost and dry tolerant once established. Easy care, ‘Fire Cracker’ benefits from a light pruning after flowering at the beginning of spring, to encourage a dense bushy habit. ‘Fire Cracker’ should be fertilised each spring with a slow release specifically formulated ‘native’ fertiliser, according to manufacturers directions. If planted in a container, make sure you use a good quality potting mix that has been blended especially for native plants. CAUTION - Skin irritant.
