Hi
Question is how much pruning is recommended for the grevillea royal mantle. I have inherited some in my slopy yard. The are healthy but not huge. They don't get a lot of sun, especially in winter. I have also planted some more.
cheers

Do you mean the Poorinda Royal Mantle the prostrate version? We have 2 of these, and they grow quite steadily. We just cut back whatever is growing in the wrong direction, and try to keep it compact and bushy. I don't think you can go too wrong actually.

Yes! The Poorinda Royal Mantle is the one. Thanks.
They are covering a slope, and trailing over a rock wall. I like the length (for covering the wall/slope etc) but I suppose if I keep it more compact it will be a bushier plant for me?
