Banksia suitable for south Western Australian gardens

Primarily, Banksias are low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established, making them an easy choice for home gardeners and their long-flowering season ensures they bring joy to your garden for an extended period. Banksia trees and shrubs generally have root systems that are not considered invasive and have adapted to efficiently absorb water and nutrients from poor soils, posing no significant threat to foundations or plumbing.

This e-book Banksias has been arranged from tall trees to prostrate shrubs which will make it easier to select one that will suit your particular site. Lots of growing information has been provided to hopefully make planting a Banksia or more in your soil a successful endeavour.
