Banksia spinulosa Bush Candles is a great, low-maintenance dwarf shrub that flowers its head off from autumn to winter, providing a visual delight and a great source of nectar for visiting birds. A naturally dense grower, Bush Candles forms a wide low mound that covers the ground. The flowers are golden spikes with lovely contrasting brown stamens and are gorgeous as cut flowers. Banksias are phosphorus sensitive, so a good native fertiliser is best.
