A very open question! There is so much you could plant with this grevillea, depending on the site and personal preference. I encourage you to research local natives or to refine your search parameters.

A couple of trees/shrubs that in my opinion would work well are:

- Stenocarpus sinuatus (Fire Wheel Tree)
- Other Grevillea Species with different colour flowers
- Hakeas or Banksias
- Telopea speciosissima (Waratah)
- Alloxylon flammeum (Tree Waratah)
- Callistemons
- Brachychitons
- Melaleucas

Most of these have a relatively similar appearance in some aspect, so if you want something different, there are plenty other options available!

Hope this helps,

Many of the others are allelopathic.Cardwellia or ivory curl would work.

Really? I didn't know that, I thought only robusta had strong allelopathy.

If you are trying to fill out the understory with the shrub it shouldn't matter anyway, but good point!
