A hardy and versatile native suitable for coastal locations. Attracts native birds and insects for food source and habitat. Forms include a dwarf variety less than 1m tall, rounded bushy forms to 4m and straggly trees to 8m. Banksias can be a little difficult to prune. They do respond well to light pruning but too much can result in heavy leaf growth at the expense of flowers or permanent damage. Indigenous to many areas across South Australia and SE of Australia.
