Banksia spinulosa Cherry Candles is one of many of Banksia hybrids developed with the small garden in mind. It is a small compact shrub growing to about 0.5m tall and up to a metre wide.
From Summer to winter it produces a spike of yellow flowers with cherry-red hairpin like styles. The hairpin is classic to spinulosa and all its hybrids.
The mid-green leaves are linear with a serrated margin. The foliage seems denser than found on Banksia spinulosa.
This is perfect for patios, pots and rockeries. As with all Banksia it will attract birds and insects into your garden
