Banksia Giant Candles

Banksia Giant Candles Details

Banksia Giant Candles is grown for both its foliage and flowers. It bears orange, bottlebrush-like flowers, up to 30 cm long from spring until winter. The flowers are great for attracting birds and are complemented by dense, dark green, needle like foliage. It typically grows to 4 m tall and 3 m wide, and can be trimmed as necessary. Best results with this Banksia are achieved when it is planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of dry periods, frost, cool climates, and coastal environments. Banksia ericifolia Giant Candles is great for adding to a mixed planting, and is often used for screening, attracting birds, in parks, and for erosion control.
