An attractive, fast growing, bushy shrub growing from 4 - 7 m high. It is most useful as a garden feature or screen plant with large striking spikes of yellow to reddish-orange flowers contrasted with small, linear, light-green to greyish-green leaves. Not only is it the most colourful of the eastern Banksia species when in flower, it is also one of the best plants for attracting honey-eating birds.
