'''''Grevillea asparagoides''''' is a [[shrub]] which is endemic to the south-west of [[Western Australia]]. It grows up from 0.5 to 2 metres in height and produces bright red flowers between July and December (late winter to early summer ) in its native range.<ref name =foa>{{Flora of Australia Online|name=''Grevillea asparagoides''|id= 2650}}</ref>
The species was first formally described by botanist [[Carl Meissner]], his description published in ''[[Prodromus]]'' in 1856. The specific epithet is derived from a passing resemblance of the foliage to that of [[asparagus]].<ref name =wrigley/>
