Grevillea lanigera (Woolly Grevillea) is a low-growing shrub from southeastern Australia that is valued for its fine, grey-green foliage and dense habit. It produces clusters of small pink and cream spider-like flowers that attract bees and birds over a long season. This hardy evergreen adapts well to sandy or rocky soils, tolerates drought once established, and is often used as a groundcover in warm climates. It is suitable for coastal gardens and requires good drainage to thrive. Grevillea lanigera is hardy in USDA Zones 9-11 and can tolerate brief dips to about 25F with protection.

'Mt Tamboritha' is a dwarf, prostrate selection of Woolly Grevillea that forms a tight mat of finely textured foliage. It is particularly popular as a rock garden plant or trailing over walls, combining compact growth with abundant flowering.
