Banksia burdetii
Burdett's Banksia
| These trees and shrubs are native to Australia, and have been garden favorites there since the 19th century. Popular in the southern United States, their spikes of yellowish to reddish flowers turn into woody, cylindrical, conelike spikes of fruit. Will not tolerate frost, so plant against a wall or where they have shelter from evergreen or other woodland trees. Several are known for tolerating temperate coastal conditions. |
Nectar-rich, pale orange flowers less than 2 inches wide are followed by woody seed cones. Olive-green leaves are edged with small teeth. Needs excellent drainage to prevent root rot.
