Banksia integrifolia New Dawn

Banksia New Dawn is a much-loved Australian native shrub with a naturally dense, upright habit. From winter through to spring it produces pale lemon flower spikes up to 15 cm long, creating a soft yet striking display when many other plants are resting. The blooms are rich in nectar and highly attractive to birds, while the thick foliage provides valuable shelter for wildlife. Its stretched oval leaves are beautifully splayed along straight, woody stems, giving the plant strong architectural form and year-round appeal. The long-lasting flowers are also popular for cut arrangements, holding their colour and shape well in floral displays. 

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun. Coastal, salt, wind, light frost and drought-tolerant.
Size: In a garden, it can grow up to 3–4m tall and 2–3m wide, but regular pruning can help maintain a smaller, more compact size, particularly in pots or small spaces.
