I am a naturally narrow compact and upright form of the native Coastal Banksia.
My yellow flower cones appear from late autumn through winter, attracting birds, insects and other animals for which I am an important food source. I am also important for honey production.
My upright form makes me ideal as a native screening hedge either clipped to a formal shape which will improve my density or left unclipped where my natural upright rounded form will feature.
Hardy, I thrive in exposed locations and coastal conditions.

I have a good natural upright form unpruned but respond well to light pruning if required
Plant at least 0.2m apart.
Choose a full sun to partly shaded position.
Once established, check soil moisture and water during extended dry periods.
Choose whether you are planting in the garden or a pot to receive guidance built from this plant's light, water, habit and use information.
