Description
Banksia brownii, often called the Brown's Banksia, is a unique and attractive shrub from Western Australia. It has deeply divided, linear leaves. It is known for its unusual, rusty-brown flower spikes, which are cylindrical. It attracts nectar-feeding birds and adds beauty to native gardens. Banksia brownii requires well-draining, sandy soil and full sun. Water moderately, especially when the plant is young. Pruning after flowering can help to maintain a compact shape.
