Grevillea sericea ‘Mauve Clusters’ is an attractive Australian native shrub grown for its beautiful clusters of soft mauve to pink-mauve spider flowers. The delicate blooms contrast beautifully with the narrow, deep green foliage and provide a valuable source of nectar for birds, bees and other pollinators.
It forms a compact to upright shrub, generally reaching around 1–1.5 metres high, making it an excellent choice for native garden beds, mixed shrub borders, informal hedging and wildlife-friendly gardens. Mauve-flowered forms of Grevillea sericea can flower for extended periods rather than providing only a short seasonal display.
Growing conditions: Plant in full sun to part shade in a well-drained soil. Once established, Grevillea sericea is relatively hardy and has modest water requirements. A light prune after a major flowering flush will help maintain a dense, attractive shape. If feeding is required, use a low-phosphorus fertiliser formulated for Australian native plants.
Features at a glance: Australian native; approximately 1–1.5 m high; mauve-pink spider flowers; narrow green foliage; extended flowering; bird and pollinator attracting; suitable for garden beds, native gardens and informal borders; hardy once established.
A delightful compact Grevillea producing clusters of soft mauve-pink spider flowers amongst fine green foliage. Long flowering and attractive to nectar-feeding birds and pollinators, ‘Mauve Clusters’ is a beautiful addition to native and wildlife-friendly gardens.
