Grevillea × gaudichaudii – Oak Leaf Grevillea
A Rare Australian Native, Ready for Your Garden
Grevillea × gaudichaudii is one of Australia's most sought-after ground-covering natives — and one of the hardest to find at your local nursery. A natural hybrid between G. acanthifolia and G. laurifolia, this low-growing beauty spreads gracefully across the ground, forming a dense, weed-suppressing mat that looks stunning year-round.
Hardy to 10-15F, becoming hardier with more sun exposure and age.

Care Guide
Plant in full sun to part shade in well-drained soil. Water regularly for the first season, then reduce to occasional deep watering. Avoid phosphorus-rich fertilizers. Prune lightly after flowering to encourage bushy growth if desired.
