Grevillea quercifolia, commonly known as Oak-Leaf Grevillea, is an evergreen shrub native to the open woodlands and dry sclerophyll forests of Southwestern Australia. It typically grows to a height and width of 2-3 feet (0.6-0.9 meters), forming a dense and rounded shape. The plant is named for its deeply lobed, oak-like leaves, which are a notable feature along with its striking flowers. The inflorescences are composed of red and pink flowers that bloom in the spring and are quite showy, attracting nectar-feeding birds and insects.

Oak-Leaf Grevillea is valued for its drought tolerance and unique foliage, making it a suitable choice for water-wise gardens, Mediterranean landscapes, and as a low hedge or border plant. It thrives in full sun and requires well-drained soils, preferably with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. While it is generally low-maintenance, it benefits from light pruning to maintain its shape and encourage denser growth. In terms of potential problems, it can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered or planted in poorly drained soils. It is also sensitive to phosphorus, so fertilizers formulated for native Australian plants are recommended.CC BY-SA 4.0
