Plant in full to partial sun in a well-drained soil and water occasionally - drought tolerant once established. Hardy to around 25 °F. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain size and form. This attractive shrub would be a good choice for a specimen planting or light screen, and it attracts hummingbirds. It is somewhat similar to Grevillea 'Long John' with which is shares the one parent Grevillea johnsonii but is shorter and denser with stiffer and narrower leaves and redder flowers. Grevillea 'Bonfire' is a hybrid between Grevillea johnsonii and Grevillea wilsonii that was named by Bywong Nursery in New South Wales. An older named plant Grevillea 'Bon Accord', from Bill Molyneux's Austraflora Nursery (previously owned by Rodger and Gwen Elliott) is noted as being very similar if not the same plant. Since Grevillea johnsonii is from Eastern Australia and Grevillea wilsonii from Western Australia, this hybrid is a transcontinental cross. The very narrow leaves are closer looking to those of Grevillea johnsonii but are shorter and more divided. Our thanks to Jo O'Connell at Australian Native Plant Nursery for this very fine plant and the accompanying in image. 

The information about Grevillea 'Bonfire' displayed on this web page is based on our research conducted in the nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also include observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share cultural information that would aid others in growing this plant.
