Banksia caleyi

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Common name: Caley's banksia and red lantern banksia

This banksia stands out for its striking red flower heads on a full, compact shrub.

It can be used as a featured shrub, especially near the coast. 

With its low maintenance needs and sensitivity to phosphorus, a good native fertilizer is recommended when feeding.

From the Proteaceae family and known as Banksia Caleyi, it belongs to the small to large shrub category and grows best in sandy, loamy, saline, or poor soils. 

Its climate zone includes warm temperate, cool temperate, and Mediterranean regions, and its evergreen, spreading growth habit makes it a popular choice.

It thrives in well-drained soil and has special uses as a cut flower, erosion control, and a nesting plant for birds.
