Fast groundcover grevillea with burgundy flowers and bronze-red new growth.

A vigorous prostrate grevillea that spreads widely, rooting along its stems. It's grown for its dense cover of lobed leaves, which flush bronze-red in spring, and for its small burgundy toothbrush flowers from late winter.
