Grevillea Semperflorens, also known as ‘Orange Bonfire’ is an evergreen shrub native to Australia. This plant is known for its distinctive, apricot and pink flowers that bloom throughout the year making it a popular choice for gardens in many parts of the world. It was first discovered in the early 1900s and since then, it has been widely cultivated for its ornamental beauty and ease of care.
The plant typically grows to a height and spread of 1-2 metres. Its leaves are narrow and long, with a mid green colour that adds to the plant’s appeal. The flowers, which can reach up to 5 cm in length, are often visited by nectar-loving birds that play an important role in pollination.

Pruning should be done after flowering to encourage bushier growth and remove any dead or diseased branches.
