By far the most iconic among the Grevillea, the ‘Silky Oak’ (Grevillea robusta) can soar to a magnificent 22 metres. It’s not just the height that stands out, but also its fern-like leaves that shimmer in shades of medium to light green on top and silvery hues on the underside.

Growing Grevilleas
While Grevilleas are fairly low-maintenance, they do have specific requirements. Generally, they prefer full sun, well-drained soil, and benefit from occasional pruning to encourage bushier growth and more blooms.
