Notes from the plant tag:

A great addition to the Touch of Class® series, Banksia Red Alert boasts prominent, red cone-shaped flowers that bloom from winter through spring.

Position: Prefers a sunny or partly shaded position.

Soil: Banksia Red Alert is well-suited for free-draining soils and is an excellent choice for coastal regions with sandy terrain.

Watering: Water thoroughly and consistently to develop the root system; after establishment, it requires minimal water.

Fertilising: Fertilise annually with a slow-release, native fertiliser.

Flowering: Large, red cone flowers bloom during winter and continue into spring.

Use: Ideal for decorative pots and overall garden design. The blooms lure birds that feed on nectar and serve well in flower arrangements.

Grow tips: Prune after flowering to maintain shape, remove spent flowers as desired.
