A widespread and adaptable species with a number of different forms, this grevillea is also the parent of several popular hybrids including Grevillea 'Sandra Gordon' and Grevillea 'Honey Gem'. Generally, the plant is considered a large shrub or small tree which has grey-green, divided foliage and large racemes of orange flowers borne in the late Dry season. The flowers are rich in nectar, an important food source for birds and animals, and will attract them into the garden. Its branches can be brittle and damaged in strong wind but overall it is a splendid garden plant.
