| Care Instructions | Adapts to a variety of soils with excellent drainage; prefers loamy, gravelly, lightly acidic soil. Water deeply, regularly in first growing season to establish root system, taking care not to overwater. Once established, reduce frequency; tolerates moderate drought. 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. The Kings Celebration cultivar is a result of cross-pollination of Grevillea armigera (female) and an unnamed proprietary Grevillea hybrid (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. |
