Feed sparingly in spring; avoid high phosphorus fertilizers. |
| History | A selection from a controlled breeding program in West Perth, Australia, introduced by Kings Park & Botanic Garden. Kings Celebration displays characteristics of its parentage, in its bloom color from Grevillea fastigiata (female) and its vigorous, upright growth habit from Grevillea hybrid 'Kay Williams' (male). |
| Lore | Gevilleas' evolved flowers are specifically adapted to pollenation by the honeyeater bird with its curved beak, which means plants remain sterile in all regions outside this bird's natural habitat. |
