This very attractive, smaller growing banksia is ideal for a smaller garden , growing to 1.5 * 1.5 m. It has attractive serrated grey green foliage and produces large orange, candle like flowers which are set off well against the leaves.  The flowers are nectar rich and bees and birds are attracted to them. The plant forms a dense rounded bush. It makes a great container  plant with its handsome orange flowers, and grows just as well in the garden. It likes well drained sandy soil in full sun. It will become very drought tolerant once established and is great to use in a dry spot.
