Grevillea ‘Mason’s Hybrid’ is a vigorous, medium-sized shrub renowned for its prolific display of striking red-pink spider flowers which appear year-round, with heaviest flowering in spring and autumn. It typically reaches 1.5 to 2.5 meters in height with a similar spread, forming a dense, bushy habit. The deeply divided, dark green foliage provides excellent contrast to the vibrant blooms, making it a standout feature in both native and mixed gardens.
Highly attractive to nectar-feeding birds and pollinators, this cultivar is also valued for its resilience — tolerating drought, light frost, and coastal conditions with ease. It’s a tough, low-maintenance plant ideal for urban landscapes, wildlife gardens, or informal hedging.
