Grevillea oxyantha
Grevillea oxyantha is an erect to spreading shrub from the mountains of south-eastern Australia, grown for its scarlet to crimson and pink bird-attracting flowers. It is best given good drainage and full sun, as it naturally grows in rocky, well-drained sites.
Grevillea oxyantha is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia. It is an erect to spreading shrub with somewhat silky-hairy branchlets, broadly elliptic to broadly egg-shaped or almost round leaves, and hairy, crimson and pink flowers with a red style.
This grevillea usually grows in rocky places in the forest, often near peaks or cliffs, and is found from near Wee Jasper to near Tumut, Batlow and Brown Mountain. Subspecies oxyantha is mostly found in the Brindabella, Tinderry and Kybean Ranges, and south to Brown Mountain in south-eastern New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. There are also records from Taradale in central Victoria. Subspecies ecarinata occurs from near Wee Jasper to Tumut and Batlow.
