Flowers appear mainly in autumn and winter but plants in cultivation may have some flowers for most of the year.
Flower buds are coppery brown, opening to yellow-orange flowers.
A full yellow form is also known. Because of its open habit, a plant in full flower is very attractive and deserves a place in any garden in tropical and sub-tropical areas. It prefers well drained soils in full sun but is frost tender and not suited to cold climates. Plants are quite quick growing but sometimes have only a short lifespan of 2-3 years. Cuttings are also successful and the species has been successfully grafted using Grevillea robusta as rootstock.
