| Information Guide |
Hot Lava is a lovely small shrub producing a spectacular mass display of deep red coloured flowers during late autumn to early spring. Hot Lava's dense habit is a useful plant where cover is required for low level plantings in landscapes and garden beds. This plant provides colour to the landscape and nectar for fauna over the cooler months. Similar bred varieties can be mixed planted to create variation in the garden include Grevillea Bonnie Prince Charlie, Grevillea Knockout, Grevillea Fireworks, Grevillea Firecracker, Grevillea Winter Wonder and Grevillea Winter Flame. |

| Soil PH Conditions | Soil pH: 6.4 to 7.5 - Soil preparation: Soil can range from quite acid to alkaline in pH levels, it is important to have good soil preparation to gain the best results when planting natives. This improves the water-holding capacity of the soil and for young plants, once established, will have lower water requirements. |
| Water Recommendations | Grows well in both shade and full sun. It is adaptable to most well drained soils and is a versatile plant. Once this plant is established it will tolerate dry and light frost conditions, but over long periods of dry will require watering. |
| Fertiliser Recommendations | This plant requires little maintenance and it is best to initially feed with a slow release low phosphorus fertiliser to help first establish the plant. It is beneficial to follow up with the occasional reapplication of fertiliser and apply as required. Mulching around the base of the plant will help retain moisture and suppress weeds. |
