Prostrate Banksia
this banksia is know for its drought tolerance once established. It originates from Western Australia but tolerates being grown on the East coast if placed in a full sun, well drained soil situation. Enjoys a regular prune, which promotes more growth. The flowers are red pink in colour and quite beautiful as it looks like they grow out of ground! The flowers are butterfly attracting. The plant is 50cm tall and spreads 1m. The serated leaves are long with lovely furry new growth. Great plant for rockeries or for mass planting on a bank.
