Grevillea White Wings
Notify MeGrevillea White Wings is an eye-catching evergreen shrub known for its graceful, spider-like white flowers that appear profusely from late winter through to spring. These elegant flowers, with their long, delicate petals, stand out beautifully against the plant’s fine, needle-like foliage, which is a vibrant green year-round. This Australian native is highly valued for its ornamental appeal and its ability to attract birds and pollinators to the garden.
In the garden, Grevillea White Wings is ideal for use in mixed borders, as a specimen plant, or as part of a native planting scheme. It fits perfectly into Mediterranean, contemporary, and wildlife gardens, adding a touch of sophistication and natural beauty. This plant prefers full sun and well-drained soil, exhibiting excellent drought tolerance once established. Space plants about 2 to 3 metres apart to allow them to reach their full potential and to highlight their attractive form and flowers.
Grevillea White Wings typically grows to a mature height and spread of 2 to 3.5 metres. Its upright, bushy habit and year-round foliage ensure it remains an attractive and functional part of the landscape. The combination of its delicate, white flowers and lush green foliage provides continuous interest and beauty, making this plant a standout feature in any garden setting.
Trimming: Prune Grevillea White Wings lightly after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to promote healthy growth and improve air circulation. Avoid heavy pruning, as this can stress the plant.
Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage continuous flowering and keep the plant looking tidy.
Fertilising: Grevilleas generally do not require much fertiliser. If necessary, apply a low-phosphorus, slow-release fertiliser in early spring. Over-fertilising can harm the plant, so use sparingly.
Watering: Water regularly during the establishment phase, ensuring the soil remains moist but well-drained. Once established, Grevillea White Wings is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering. During prolonged dry periods, occasional deep watering can help maintain its health.
Pest Control: Monitor for common pests such as aphids and scale insects. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Ensuring good air circulation around the plant can help prevent pest issues.
Disease Management: Watch for signs of fungal diseases such as root rot and leaf spot. Ensure the soil has good drainage and avoid overhead watering to minimise the risk. Remove any affected plant parts and apply a fungicide if necessary to control disease spread.
