Grevillea lanigera, commonly known as Woolly Grevillea, is an evergreen shrub native to the open woodlands and dry sclerophyll forests of Victoria and New South Wales in Australia. It exhibits significant variation in form, ranging from a low, prostrate habit to an erect stature, typically growing between 0.3 to 1.5 meters in height. The species is characterized by its hairy leaves and branchlets, which give it a soft, woolly appearance. The flowers, which are a distinctive feature, are usually red and can occur throughout the year, with a peak in winter and spring. These flowers are not only showy but also attract a variety of pollinators, including birds and insects.

Woolly Grevillea is valued for its adaptability to a range of garden settings, its ability to flower almost year-round, and its low maintenance requirements. It is commonly used in cultivation for rockeries, as a ground cover, or for low hedges in urban and coastal gardens. This shrub thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soils, tolerating both medium and fast drainage. While it is drought-tolerant once established, moderate watering is recommended, especially during extended dry periods. Woolly Grevillea is relatively free from major pests and diseases, making it a resilient choice for gardeners. However, it can be sensitive to phosphorus, so fertilizers formulated for native Australian plants are recommended.CC BY-SA 4.0
