Banksia Sentinel 200MM

Banksia integrifolia fastigiata 'Sentinel'™ PBR

I am Banksia Sentinel. My family originated from Eastern Australia.

Habit Shrub - Large Flowers
Plant family Proteaceae
I am a naturally narrow compact and upright form of the native Coastal Banksia. My yellow flower cones appear from late autumn through winter, attracting birds, insects and other animals for which I am an important food source. I am also important for honey production. My upright form makes me ideal as a native screening hedge either clipped to a formal shape which will improve my density or left unclipped where my natural upright rounded form will feature. Hardy, I thrive in exposed locations and coastal conditions.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
Providing important food and habitat I attract birds, beneficial insects and other wildlife
My large yellow blooms appear from autumn through to spring and are long lived in floral arrangements
I have a naturally compact upright habit making me a perfect screening plant
