Grevillea thelemanniana is naturally found in southwest Western Australia growing in the Cannington Wattle Grove and Kenwick regions near Perth, in and around heathland swamps and in woodlands. 

It prefers an open to expose sunny to semi-shade position and grows in well-drained moist gray sandy to clay loam with a pH range from 5.5 - 8.5. It prefers a Mediterranean climate with a hot dry summer and a cool moist winter, regenerating after fire from the lignotuber and is drought and light frost tolerant.

The Spider Net Grevillea is grown for its spreading habit and its long flowering period. It is planted in small or native gardens as a specimen for attracting birds or used as a ground cover. It is also planted in commercial landscapes requiring little care once established and to be used as a spill-over above retaining walls. It is suitable for coastal and inland regions and establishes in 2-4 years and is long-lived. This shrub is also mass planted in parks and large gardens or on embankments and is grown in patio pots and planter boxes. ID 3746
