Mellow Yellow Banksia is a much-loved native bush prized for its striking stretched oval foliage splayed on straight, upright woody stems. The yellow banksia flowers appear from late summer to early spring and are excellent for attracting birds. Its dense foliage provides an excellent habitat for wildlife. While it can grow to a larger size in the ground, it responds well to pruning, making it suitable for smaller gardens or as a feature plant in pots. The flowers are also popular for cut arrangements, as they are long-lasting and striking in floral displays.
Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun. Coastal, salt, wind, frost, and drought tolerant.
Size: In a garden, it can grow up to 46m tall and 34m wide, but regular pruning can help maintain a smaller, more compact size, particularly in pots or small spaces.
