Noisy Miners were significantly more common in gardens that contained eucalypts, but they were no more common in gardens with grevilleas, unless those gardens also contained eucalypts.
It grows to over 1.5m but should, like all grevilleas, be pruned back to prevent it from becoming straggly.
Native plants with needle-like leaves or those with a small surface area such as many callistemons, grevilleas and hakeas are also reliable in heat.
Effort had been to infuse the flowers of the grevillea pteridifolia to extract nectar and make a pale gold sorbet of haunting sweetness.
This grevillea, an Australian native, requires NO supplemental water.
