Banksia menziesii is a spectacular Dwarf Banksia that is also known as the Firewood, or Menzies Banksia. This beautiful plant is a stunning ornamental for the garden or pot as it has large flower heads and serrated grey to green coloured foliage. The large flowers start off pink/red, changing to yellow as they open and release their wiry golden styles, making quite a show and attracting nectar eating birds from far and wide. Suitable as a cut flower, the flower spikes retain colour for a long time in the vase and are also great for drying.
They require a well drained open position and are particularly suited to growing in coastal areas. Drought and frost tolerant once established, Banksia will grow better if watered regularly in dry conditions.
