Banksia Scarlet Banksia

Banksia Scarlet Banksia is well known and highly sought after as a magnificent cut flower. This stunning Banksia shows off magnificent grey and scarlet flowers through Spring & Summer. The Scarlet Banksia responds well to pruning and can be cut to keep to a required height. For best flower production, prune in late Summer after flowers are finished.

Banksia are iconic Australian natives, prized for their bold architectural form and striking flower spikes. Their distinctive blooms—rich with nectar—are a magnet for birds, bees and other pollinators, bringing life and movement into the garden.

Exceptionally hardy once established, Banksias thrive in free-draining soils and perform best in full sun. Many varieties flower over extended periods, offering year-round structure and seasonal colour, while their textured foliage provides visual interest even when not in bloom.

Banksia flowers are also highly valued as a long-lasting cut flower, retaining their form and colour for extended periods in both fresh and dried arrangements. Perfect for native gardens, coastal landscapes and contemporary designs, Banksia make a statement as feature plants or when mass-planted for impact. Adaptable, resilient and unmistakably Australian, they are a timeless choice for gardeners seeking beauty with purpose.
