The white, cream or occasionally pale-pink flowers are most abundant in the winter or spring but can occur sporadically throughout the year. ==Taxonomy== The type specimen for this species was collected from King George Sound region and was described by Austrian botanist Stephan Endlicher in 1839 who gave it the name ''Manglesia vestita''. In 1845 Carl Meissner put the species into the genus ''Grevillea''.

''vestita'' *''Grevillea vestita'' subsp.''isopogoides'' F.Muell. ex McGill. which has smaller leaves with the margins rolled under. Two former varieties are now regarded as separate species *''Grevillea vestita'' var. ''angustata'' Meisn. is now ''Grevillea curviloba'' McGill. subsp. ''curviloba'' *''Grevillea vestita'' var.
