Grevillea 'Moonlight' is a widely cultivated and popular garden plant in Australian gardens and amenities.

It was a selected form of the Queensland species Grevillea whiteana, although this has been questioned because of the difference in appearance to the parent plant.[1] A hybrid between a white-flowered form of Grevillea banksii and the previous plant has been proposed.{{Citation needed|date=March 2008}}

It is an upright woody shrub which may reach {{convert|4|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} high by {{convert|1.5|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} wide. It has deeply divided dark green fern-like leaves that are approximately {{convert|20|cm|in|0|abbr=on}} long. The inflorescences are creamy white racemes that are up to {{convert|25|cm|in|0|abbr=on}} long, and may occur year-round.[1]

Highly regarded by celebrity gardener Don Burke among others,[2] it has been widely used in gardens and amenities plantings around Australia, where it thrives in a well-drained sunny position. It is tolerant of humidity and frost. As with all cultivars, propagation is by cuttings, though this can be difficult. Heavy pruning may be required to keep it from getting top-heavy as well as promoting a dense habit.[1][3]

It has also been used in the cut flower industry to some extent,[1] as well as proposed as a suitable plant for street plantings.[4]
