Grevillea ‘Sandra Gordon’ is a fast-growing, large native shrub to small tree, admired for its stunning golden-yellow flowers and graceful, silvery-green foliage.

Large, showy golden-yellow flowers appear from winter through spring, with intermittent flowering at other times. The nectar-rich blooms are highly attractive to birds, bees, and butterflies.
