Grevillea rosmarinifolia

Check your plant’s identity

Does the label say Grevillea rosmarinifolia or rosemary grevillea (including named forms of this species such as 'Lutea' or 'Desert Flame')? Culinary rosemary is a different plant, and hybrid grevilleas or other grevillea species are not covered. If the label is missing or unclear, choose I'm not sure; the picture does not confirm your plant.

Important precautions

This is not culinary rosemary: do not use it for food or tea. Its leaves, flowers and bark can irritate the skin or cause an allergic rash in some people, sometimes hours later; wear gloves when pruning or handling it. RHS also lists it as a skin irritant for pets. No reliable source says what happens if it is eaten, so keep children and pets from chewing it and ask a doctor, vet or poison service if they do.
