Lifted onto a clear stem as a standard, that vigorous trailing growth becomes a dense weeping mantle that can hang most of the way back to the ground. It is a strong, fast, hardy plant that gives a formal shape while flowering for most of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Poorinda Royal Mantle Grevillea\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDense Weeping Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vigorous trailing stems build a full, heavy curtain rather than a sparse skirt.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong Flowering\u003c\/strong\u003e: Deep red toothbrush flower heads appear across most of the year, with the heaviest display in winter and spring.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBronze New Growth\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fresh leaves emerge coppery bronze against the mature dark green, giving two tones at once.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProven Hardiness\u003c\/strong\u003e: A long established Australian cultivar with a well documented record in gardens across the temperate zone.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrafted Root Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grafting onto a vigorous understock lets it handle clay and mildly alkaline soils that would defeat it on its own roots.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLawn Specimen\u003c\/strong\u003e: A single standard on a lawn gives a low, rounded weeping form without a tree's root competition.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDriveway Punctuation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Repeated down a drive, the matched heads deliver formal rhythm in a native palette.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbove a Wall\u003c\/strong\u003e: Planted on top of a retaining wall the mantle spills down over the stonework.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBird Attracting Feature\u003c\/strong\u003e: The abundant flowers pull honeyeaters into the garden at close viewing range.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 to 2.5m for a repeated run\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 to 4m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring and autumn\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Free draining soil, neutral to acidic.
