Grevillea 'Gin Gin Gem' is a cultivar of the Grevillea plant, which is native to Australia. It is a small evergreen groundcover shrub that typically grows to around 30-40cm high and up to 2mt in width.
The plant is named for its small, showy flowers, which are a deep pink-red color and resemble clusters of tiny gems. The blooms appear in profusion in winter and spring and attract nectar-feeding birds and insects.
In addition to its attractive blooms, Grevillea 'Gin Gin Gem' has fine, soft, rounded foliage that is green-gray in color. The plant prefers full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. It is drought-tolerant once established and can tolerate moderate frost.
Regular pruning is recommended to encourage bushiness and promote new growth. Prune back any dead or damaged branches as soon as you notice them, and remove any growth that is blocking sunlight from reaching the interior of the plant. You can also prune the plant to control its size and shape, but be careful not to remove too much foliage at once, as this can stress the plant.
Overall, Grevillea 'Gin Gin Gem' is a hardy and attractive plant that can add a unique touch to any garden or landscape. It is a great choice for those looking for a low-maintenance plant with year-round interest.
