Description:
Grevillea 'Lemon Baby' is a compact, evergreen shrub admired for its soft lemon-yellow flowers and finely textured foliage. This Australian native is well-suited to small gardens, borders, and rockeries, bringing year-round interest with its dense growth and bright blooms. Its hardy nature and low maintenance make it an ideal choice for a variety of landscape settings.
Flowers:
In spring and summer, 'Lemon Baby' produces clusters of delicate, lemon-yellow, spider-like flowers that add a gentle pop of color. These nectar-rich blooms attract birds, bees, and other pollinators, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.
Foliage:
The plant has narrow, soft green leaves with a fine texture that provides a lush, feathery appearance. The foliage remains vibrant year-round, creating a soft backdrop for the striking yellow flowers.
Fruit:
This variety does not produce notable fruit, as its primary ornamental value lies in its flowers and foliage.
Form and Size:
'Lemon Baby' has a neat, compact growth habit, typically reaching a height of 0.5 to 1 meter and spreading up to 1 meter. Its tidy form and low stature make it ideal for borders, small garden spaces, and container planting.
Growing Conditions:
This plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining soil. It is tolerant of a range of soil types, including sandy and loamy soils, and is moderately drought-tolerant once established. It can also withstand light frosts, making it adaptable to various climates.
Uses:
'Lemon Baby' is versatile in landscaping, often used as a border plant, ground cover, or in rockeries. Its compact form and bright flowers make it an excellent choice for small gardens, patios, and balconies, as well as in mixed native plantings for a layered effect.
Maintenance:
This variety is low-maintenance, requiring minimal pruning. Light trimming after flowering can help maintain a neat appearance and encourage bushier growth. Apply a native-friendly, low-phosphorus fertilizer in spring to support healthy foliage and flowering.
Notes:
'Lemon Baby' is a resilient and attractive addition to gardens, particularly those with limited space. Its bright yellow flowers and ease of care make it a popular choice for enhancing the beauty of Australian landscapes.
Companion Plants:
Pairs well with other low-growing natives such as Correa, Dianella, and Lomandra. It also complements small shrubs and grasses, adding texture and color to mixed plantings.
