Grevillea olivacea ‘Yellow’ is a hardy, medium-sized native shrub with fine, olive-green foliage and masses of soft yellow, spider-like flowers. Blooming through winter and spring, it brings cheerful colour and attracts nectar-feeding birds and bees to the garden. Its dense growth and silvery-green texture make it an excellent option for native, coastal, or low-maintenance landscapes.

This versatile shrub suits a range of garden styles, from native and coastal designs to informal hedges and mixed borders. Its bright flowers contrast beautifully with greys and blues in surrounding plantings, adding both structure and softness to the garden.
