Why we love this plant!

The Coastal Banksia is a hardy native tree or shrub, well-suited to South East Queensland's coastal and inland environments. Its lemon-yellow flowers attract nectar-feeding birds, bees, and butterflies, providing an important food source throughout the year. Thriving in sandy soils and salt-laden coastal winds, it’s perfect for beachside gardens, windbreaks, and erosion control. It also tolerates inland frosts, making it a resilient choice for diverse landscapes between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.

Care Considerations

Watering preferences:

  • Watering is mainly required during establishment or in prolonged dry periods. • Once established, it is drought tolerant.

Mulching preferences:

  • Applying mulch around the base may help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Fertilising preferences:

  • Fertilisation is generally not required.
  • If used, a low-phosphorus native plant fertiliser may be beneficial in nutrient-poor soils.

Pruning preferences:

  • Pruning can help shape the plant, manage size, or encourage denser foliage.

Good to Know:

  • Well-suited to coastal conditions, tolerating wind and salt exposure.
  • Attracts honeyeaters, native bees, and other pollinators due to its nectar-rich flowers.
