Banksia ‘Cherry Candles’

Banksia spinulosa 

Cherry Candles is just like a good red wine, it gets better with each year! As a one year old, it will produce three or four beautiful flower spikes that are possibly larger than the plant itself; by year five or six, twenty or thirty dark cherry-coloured candles will be covering the plant.

Cherry Candles is a feast for the honeyeaters. Cherry Candles is a wonderful container plant for deck or patio, or fill a space in your garden with multiples, it’ll take your breath away. Cool temperate to warm climates, full sun and friable soils with good drainage are all necessary, and light frost will be tolerated. Loves a coastal position.
