Grevillea alpina, commonly known as Mountain Grevillea, is an evergreen shrub native to dry sclerophyll forests and woodland areas in Eastern Australia. It exhibits considerable variation in form, ranging from prostrate to upright, and can reach heights between 0.3 and 2 meters (0.98 and 6.56 ft). The leaves are typically narrow and linear, adding to the plant’s fine-textured appearance. Flower color is highly variable, with the perianth displaying shades of red, orange, pink, and more rarely yellow or cream. The flowers are particularly showy from August to December, attracting a variety of nectar-feeding insects and birds.

Mountain Grevillea is valued for its vibrant flowers and ability to attract wildlife. It is often used in gardens for rockeries, informal hedges, and as a specimen plant. The species is known for being somewhat short-lived, especially in humid climates with summer rainfall, but this issue can be mitigated by grafting onto suitable rootstocks. It thrives in dry conditions and requires well-drained soils, making it suitable for xeriscaping. Regular pruning promotes a denser habit and reduces woodiness. While it can be propagated from pre-treated seed, garden-sourced seeds may result in hybrid offspring. For optimal growth, Mountain Grevillea prefers full sun and low water once established.CC BY-SA 4.0
