Where to Plant Grevillea ‘Lemon Supreme’
Plant in full sun for the strongest flowering, preferably in free-draining soil. It works beautifully in Australian native gardens, wildlife gardens, along driveways, within mixed borders or planted in groups for a stronger landscape effect.
Allow approximately 1–1.5 metres between plants when creating an informal mass planting or low native screen.
Growing Grevillea ‘Lemon Supreme’ in Melbourne
Grevillea ‘Lemon Supreme’ is well suited to many Melbourne and Victorian gardens where drainage is good. Once established, it handles dry periods well and is an excellent choice for gardeners wanting a water-wise, colourful and wildlife-friendly native shrub.
Avoid permanently wet or poorly drained soil, particularly through Melbourne’s cooler winter months.
Feeding and Maintenance
Use a low-phosphorus fertiliser formulated for Australian native plants. Avoid high-phosphorus general-purpose fertilisers. Lightly prune after a major flowering flush to maintain a dense shape and encourage fresh growth.
Mulching around the root zone will help conserve moisture, but keep mulch clear of the main stem.
