Description
A dense, upright shrub with a neat habit, Grevillea jephcottii features soft grey-green, divided foliage that provides year-round interest. Unusual pale creamy-green to pinkish flower clusters are produced from winter to spring over an extended period, attracting nectar-feeding birds and insects. Listed as endangered, it is restricted to a small area of north-eastern Victoria and grows best in full sun to part shade, where it provides excellent bird-attracting value.

Adapted to relatively dry conditions, it is also tolerant of a range of climates from cold and wet to warm and dry. Tip pruning is recommended to maintain a compact habit.
