Estimated Native Range
Summary
Grevillea triternata, commonly known as the Three-part Grevillea, is an evergreen shrub native to the sclerophyll forests and coastal heathlands of New South Wales, Australia. It typically grows to a height and width of 3-5 feet (0.9-1.5 meters), featuring a dense, bushy habit. The leaves are deeply divided with three lobes, giving rise to its common name. It produces clusters of white flowers that are rich in nectar during the winter and spring months, attracting a variety of pollinators, including birds and bees.
The Three-part Grevillea is valued for its drought tolerance and its ability to thrive in a range of soil types, provided they are well-drained. It is often used in gardens for its attractive foliage and flowers, as well as for attracting wildlife. It can serve as a low hedge or a feature plant in rockeries and native plant gardens. While it prefers full sun or part shade, it is also tolerant of coastal conditions and can handle light frost once established. It is relatively low-maintenance, requiring only occasional pruning to maintain its shape and promote denser growth.CC BY-SA 4.0
