Common Name
Weeping Linear-leaf Grevillea
Description
Grevillea linearifolia ‘Weeping Form’ is a graceful shrub with an elegant cascading habit and fine, narrow green foliage. Its arching branches create a soft weeping form that works beautifully as a feature plant or informal screen. Clusters of delicate white spider flowers appear over an extended period, attracting honeyeaters and other nectar-feeding birds. Hardy and adaptable once established, it performs best in well-drained soils in full sun to light shade and responds well to light pruning to maintain shape.

The weeping form prefers similar conditions in cultivation, thriving in sunny to lightly shaded positions with good drainage and moderate airflow.
