Evergreen to 2m. Long spikes of orange flowers during cooler months. Unusual gnarly growth habit - bird attracting, frost & wind tolerant full sun - hardy.  The flowers are sought after for their ability to be long lasting in arrangements and bird attracting properties.  Unusual gnarly growth habit makes Banksias a favourite in most garden settings.
