Bold Red Flowering Grevillea
Grevillea ‘Spirit of Anzac’ is a powerful and visually striking evergreen shrub developed as a living tribute, admired for its intense cherry‑red blooms and refined, silver‑green foliage. This cultivar produces long, curved toothbrush‑style flowers with vivid red stamens emerging from pale buds, creating dramatic contrast and strong movement throughout the year. In mild climates, flowering can be nearly continuous, with peak displays from late winter through spring.
Well suited to both ornamental landscapes and wildlife‑friendly gardens, ‘Spirit of Anzac’ offers excellent drought tolerance once established and thrives in full sun with well‑drained soil. Its finely dissected foliage provides year‑round structure and texture, while its upright, moderately spreading habit makes it ideal for screening, feature planting, and commemorative garden settings.
