Synonyms

Grevillea asparagoides is a shrub which is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It grows up from 0.5 to 2 metres in height and produces bright red flowers between July and December (late winter to early summer ) in its native range.

The species was first formally described by botanist Carl Meissner, his description published in Prodromus in 1856. The specific epithet is derived from a passing resemblance of the foliage to that of asparagus.

Culivation

This species requires a well-drained soil and full sun. Propagation is from cuttings; grafting on the east coast of Australia may be required to ensure greater reliability.
