Notes from the plant tag:

A magnificent, striking Australian banksia, "Green Giant" is a superior selection of the very popular "Swamp Banksia", Banksia robur.  

Vigorous and fast growing it will reach a height of 2 m with a very bushy 1.5 - 2 m spread. 

Massive 25-30 cm long brushes of "Dark Green with a Metallic Bluish Sheen overlay" occur upright on the ends of branches through winter and into spring.

Extremely adaptive, it will grow from wet to average positions in full sun to light shade.  

Removal of old flowers is recommended to promote new growth.  The spectacular display of "honey dripping" flowers makes it particularly attractive to honey eating birds, butterflies and bees.

A fabulous addition to any garden preferring a full sun average soil position.
