Grevillea buxifolia is an erect shrub 1-2m high, easily recognised by its grey hairy flowers, which are held upright in clusters at the end of the stems. The flowers are actually a rusty colour, the greyness coming from a dense covering of whitish hairs on the inside of each flower.

Grevillea buxifolia flowers from August to November.
