Banksia Birthday Candles - Banksia spinulosa 'Birthday Candles'

Banksia spinulosa Birthday Candles is a compact, evergreen native shrub bred for its dense habit and prolific golden yellow flower spikes. Flowering occurs over a long period, attracting birds and adding colour to the garden. With excellent tolerance to drought, frost, and a wide range of soil types, this variety is ideal for low hedging, borders, mass planting, and smaller garden spaces.

Key Features:

• Soil: Adaptable to most soil types provided drainage is good.
• Light: Full sun to semi shade for best performance and flowering.
• Watering: Low water requirements once established, avoiding waterlogged soils.
• Fertiliser: Apply a low phosphorus slow release fertiliser if required.
• Maintenance: Light shaping after flowering encourages density.
• Flowering: Summer through to late winter flowering season.

Plant closely for a dense low hedge and prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape.
