Flowers are in the pink to red range typical of the group and appear over a long season, drawing honeyeaters and small nectar feeding birds. As a standard it does the work of a small feature tree in a garden with a fraction of the water demand and none of the root problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Wakiti Gem Grevillea\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrained Weeping Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: A spreading cultivar lifted onto a stem gives shape and height in a bed without adding bulk.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Flowering\u003c\/strong\u003e: Like most garden grevilleas it flowers across a long season rather than in a single short burst.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBird Habitat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nectar rich flowers support honeyeaters through the leaner cool months.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrafted Resilience\u003c\/strong\u003e: The understock broadens its soil tolerance well beyond what the cultivar manages on its own roots.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimal Root Impact\u003c\/strong\u003e: A small, non aggressive root system makes it safe near paving, services and small courtyard structures.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall Garden Feature\u003c\/strong\u003e: Provides the presence of a tree in a space that cannot accommodate one.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRepeated Bed Structure\u003c\/strong\u003e: A line of matched standards gives a native bed a formal backbone.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDry Garden Specimen\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sits naturally among grasses, succulents and gravel mulch.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot Culture\u003c\/strong\u003e: Workable in a large free draining container in full sun.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 to 2m for a repeated run\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5 to 3m\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.

Keep phosphorus away from the root zone, use only a low phosphorus native fertiliser in spring, hold the stake until the trunk is rigid, and remove rootstock shoots from below the graft the moment they appear or they will take over the plant.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003ePlant Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 to 1.8m overall as a trained standard\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 to 2m head spread\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fast\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evergreen\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative to:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australian cultivar\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pink to red\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nursery Direct","offers":[{"title":"45L","offer_id":59795382042910,"sku":"ND-0904-45L","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/2536\/8862\/files\/sPZ_r5bsx2HJ_SUVVibrF_X3dZlp7A.jpg?v=1787314721","url":"https:\/\/nurserydirect.com.au\/products\/grevillea-wakiti-gem-standards","provider":"Nursery Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
