Banksia robur, the swamp banksia, is a dramatic-looking banksia with bright felty russet new growth, big green leaves, metallic green buds, and impressive gold-tan flower spikes. The hardy native looks good in grouped plantings, wildlife gardens, and along riverbanks. Seed pods are decorative as are the flowers. Prune as required to maintain compact growth. Feed with a slow-release native fertiliser during spring

Soil: Plant in a well-drained sandy or loam soil with neutral-acid pH and regular water. Will tolerate moist, even wet, soil in full sun.
Conditions: It needs full sun for best flowering, but will grow in part shade. Coastal, salt, wind and frost tolerant.
Size: Height 3m x width 2m
