Grevillea mimosoides, commonly known as Tar Grevillea, is an evergreen shrub or small tree native to the open eucalypt woodlands and savannahs of Northern Australia. It typically grows to a height of 6-15 feet (1.8-4.6 meters) and a width of 6-10 feet (1.8-3 meters). The plant has a bushy habit with linear leaves and bears white to cream-colored flowers that are rich in nectar, attracting a variety of birds and insects. Flowering occurs in summer and fall, and the flowers are moderately showy, adding aesthetic value to the landscape.

Tar Grevillea is valued for its drought tolerance and wildlife-attracting qualities, making it a suitable choice for xeriscaping and naturalistic plantings in warm climates. It is also used for screening and as a feature plant in gardens. This species prefers full sun exposure and is adaptable to a range of soil types, provided they are well-drained. While generally low-maintenance, it can be susceptible to root rot in poorly drained soils and may attract pests such as aphids. It is important to note that Grevillea species can be toxic if ingested and may cause skin irritation in some individuals.CC BY-SA 4.0
