Grevillea leiophylla, commonly known as Wallum Grevillea, is an evergreen shrub native to the sandy coastal heathlands, also known as ’wallum,’ in Eastern Australia, particularly in Queensland and New South Wales. It typically grows to a height of 2 feet (0.6 meters) and a width of 3-5 feet (0.9-1.5 meters). The plant has a mounding habit with narrow, linear leaves and bears profuse pink to red flowers that are rich in nectar, attracting birds and insects. The flowering season extends from winter through to summer, with peak bloom times varying by local climate.

Wallum Grevillea is valued for its long flowering period and its ability to attract wildlife, making it a favorite for use in native gardens, as a low hedge or informal screen, and in coastal landscaping due to its tolerance of salt spray. It is drought-tolerant once established, requiring minimal watering, and thrives in well-drained sandy or loamy soils. Full sun to part shade is ideal for promoting abundant flowering. While generally low-maintenance, it can be susceptible to root rot in poorly drained soils and may require protection from frost in cooler climates.CC BY-SA 4.0
