Grevillea rivularis

Grevillea rivularis

A funky little groundcover from downunder, Grevillea rivularis becomes a mounding groundcover of evergreen poky leaves ornamented with beautiful pink proteaceous flowers. Very easy to grow, it will quickly become a 4-6 foot wide mound and does a fairly good job of blocking weeds from germinating beneath it. Somewhat cold hardy taking 15 degrees as long as it’s not a prolonged multi-day freeze or accompanied by ferocious wind.
