It prefers sunny or semi-shaded places; these plants do not fear the cold and they can withstand periods of intense cold.

A watery lymph is stored in the roots of the plant, which allows it to withstand long periods of drought without problems.

The grevillea blooms during springtime and its flowers are characterised by a long calyx that develops into coloured curls from which small flexed stomata and a single pistil emerge. There are several species of grevillea and some of them can also be cultivated in coastal areas as they can withstand sea salt. In most species the flowers are very nectariferous which makes grevilleas excellent plants for attracting insects and birds.
