Southern Plains Banksia

This dense, robust, and heavily branched native shrub grows into a large mound between 3 and 4 meters high and wide. It features leathery, wedge-shaped leaves with saw-toothed edges and bears large, striking, golden-yellow flower cylinders from autumn into summer. Its thick, tough growth habit forms an impenetrable windbreak or privacy screen, providing highly secure nesting sites for small native birds.
