Grevillea ‘Scarlet Sprite’ is an evergreen shrub with a dense, rounded, mounding, and compact habit and featuring fine, stiff, needle-like leaves resembling rosemary and scarlet-red, rose-pink, and cream bi-colored spider-like flowers. Extremely sensitive to phosphorus-containing fertilizers. Uses include barrier, low hedge, border, accent, mass planting, erosion control. Thrives in oceanfront landscapes. Tolerant of desert conditions. It has low water needs. Avoid overwatering during hot summer months to prevent root rot. Extremely adaptable to light or heavy soil textures, provided there is excellent drainage. It prefers lean, acidic to neutral soils. Best in full sun for optimal flower production but tolerates light partial shade. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Cold hardy to 20°F.
