A great ornamental banksia, growing to a medium shrub and adaptable to a variety of well drained soils and climate zones. Impressive flowers which can be bright yellow, or dark red-purple.
The Cut-leaf Banksia attracts birds as well as providing shelter for them.
Fantastic as an ornamental in the garden, or as windbreak or coastal planting.
This species can tolerate winds and coastal exposure, as well as moderate frost, dry periods, and alkalinity. Banksias are phosphorus sensitive, so a good native fertiliser is best when it comes to feeding time.
