Grevillea pinaster 'Silk Carpet'
Grevillea pinaster 'Silk Carpet'
Grevillea 'Silk Carpet' is a unique ground cover form of the WA native Grevillea, renowned for its fine, slender foliage and stunning pinkish-red rounded flowers with lime-green-yellow tips. The flowers bloom during spring and occasionally at other times of the year, adding vibrant color to the landscape. This low-growing, spreading variety reaches a height of 0.5 meters and can spread up to 2 meters wide, making it an excellent choice for ground cover.
Perfect for native and wildlife gardens, coastal gardens, or as a soil-retaining plant, Grevillea 'Silk Carpet' is ideal for holding banks together, suppressing weeds, and keeping the roots of larger plants cool in summer and warm in winter. Its cascading growth habit also makes it a stunning feature on slopes or retaining walls. It thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers free-draining soil, tolerating alkaline and clay soils better than many other grevilleas. A great addition for gardeners looking to create an attractive, low-maintenance, drought-resistant landscape.
