Description:
Banksia ‘Honeypots’ is a compact and colourful Australian native shrub, known for its profusion of honey-toned, golden-orange flower spikes and soft, fine foliage. This low-growing cultivar is ideal for small gardens, native borders, and container planting, offering a long flowering season and strong appeal to birds and pollinators. ‘Honeypots’ is drought-tolerant, easy-care, and brings vibrant colour and texture to any landscape.
Flowers:
Bright golden-orange flower spikes bloom profusely from autumn through winter and into early spring. The nectar-rich blooms attract honeyeaters, bees, and other pollinators, making it an excellent choice for wildlife gardens.
Foliage:
Soft, narrow, mid-green leaves form a dense, mounding shrub. The fine foliage adds gentle texture and contrasts beautifully with the bold flowers.
Fruit:
Woody cones may develop after flowering, typical of Banksia species, adding interest to the shrub year-round.
