Darwinia grandiflora is a shrub which is endemic to New South Wales in Australia.[2] It has a prostrate habit, growing up to 0.5 metres high.[2] Red flowers are produced in clusters of 4 to 6 in winter.[2]
The species was formally described in 1867 by English botanist George Bentham in Flora Australiensis as a subspecies of Darwinia taxifolia.[1] It was promoted to species level in 1962.[1]
