Banksia nivea – Honeypot Dryandra

Banksia nivea - Honeypot Dryandra

An attractive small shrub, with attractive ferny foliage with silver reverse, and orange flowers in winter and spring that are bird attracting. Smaller forms are ground hugging, with larger forms growing to 1.2 metres high and wide. Drought and frost resistant once established. Best in a light well drained soil and sunny position. Banksias are phosphorus sensitive, so a good native fertiliser is best when it comes to feeding time.
