Flowering from autumn through winter, it produces bold cylindrical blooms that provide a valuable food source for nectar-loving birds, bees and other pollinators during the cooler months.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith its tall, spreading habit and attractive foliage, Red Dawn works beautifully as a feature shrub or informal screen, adding colour, texture and movement to the garden. Its ability to tolerate coastal conditions, including salt-laden winds, makes it a reliable choice for exposed sites.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMature size: approximately 2–5 metres high × 2–3 metres wide\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare \u0026amp; Growing Tips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlant in full sun to part shade in light, well-drained soil. Good drainage is essential, as Banksia ‘Red Dawn’ will not tolerate waterlogged conditions. Avoid heavy clay soils unless improved for drainage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWater regularly while establishing, then reduce, as the plant becomes drought tolerant once mature. Supplementary watering during extended dry periods will support healthier growth and flowering. It is also tolerant of light frost once established.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Avoid heavy pruning, as banksias flower on older wood. Apply a native fertiliser at the same time and mulch annually to retain moisture and improve soil health.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Feature planting\u003cbr\u003e– Informal hedging and screening\u003cbr\u003e– Coastal and exposed gardens\u003cbr\u003e– Large pots and containers (with native potting mix)\u003cbr\u003e– Wildlife-friendly gardens\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warran Glen Garden Centre \u0026 Cafe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49253667504379,"sku":"brd14","price":14.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0453\/6601\/8210\/files\/37105_IMG-5390.jpg?v=1780029080","url":"https:\/\/warranglen.com.au\/products\/banksia-red-dawn-14cm-pot","provider":"Warran Glen Garden Centre \u0026 Cafe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
