Banksia ericifolia Red Rover has stunning, deep red-terracotta cylindrical flowers up to 25cm long! It has an open habit with fine, heathery, pale green small leaves providing a colourful contrast to the show-stopping flowers. This adaptable banksia forms an excellent screen plant and is adored by native birds and bees. The seed pods are decorative as are the flowers. Feed with a slow-release native fertiliser during spring.
