Banksia grandis Bull Banksia

Banksia grandis, also known as Bull Banksia, is an iconic Western Australian shrub renowned for its spectacular yellow flower heads and large, toothed foliage. Standing tall as a small tree or large shrub, it serves as a striking feature in any garden, particularly suited for coastal areas. With a height range from 5 to 10 metres, some specimens can even reach up to 15 metres under optimal conditions. Although it is slow to flower, the wait is well worth it for the stunning foliage. It is phosphorus sensitive, thus benefiting from a good native fertiliser during feeding time.

Soil: Adaptable to most soil types.
Conditions: Prefers full sun to partial shade. Drought, light frost and coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 8m x width 5m
