Grevillea rosmarinifolia 'Scarlet Sprite' - A mounding, compact shrub to 4-5 feet tall by 8 feet wide with soft-textured needle-like leaves. The rosy-pink and cream colored flowers are showy during the winter and spring. Hardy to 20 F. Similar to the G. 'Noeli', once the most common Grevillea in cultivation in California, but 'Scarlet Sprite' is denser growing and not as prickly as 'Noelii'. Plant in full sun.  This description of this plant is based on our research and our observations of it growing at the nursery, in our own garden and in other gardens. We always appreciate receiving feedback of any kind from those who have any additional information about this plant, particularly if they disagree with what we have written or have additional cultural tips that would aid others growing Grevillea 'Scarlet Sprite' .
