Grevillea longifola is naturally found in Australia growing in New South Wales in a restricted area on the coast.

It prefers a well drained fertile moist sandy soil that is tending acidic in an open sunny position and is frost and drought resistant.

This hardy grevillea is grown for its flowers and its bushy habit. It is planted in small or native gardens as a specimen or along borders for attracting birds. It can be trimmed to form an informal hedging or used for screening and the flowers are used in floral arrangements. It is fast growing and establishes in 2 to 3 years and is suitable for coastal or mountain regions. ID 803
