Banksia Serrata Saw Banksia

Banksia Serrata, commonly known as the Saw Banksia, is a stunning Australian native shrub or small tree that belongs to the Proteaceae family. It is known for its unique saw-like serrated leaves, which give it its distinctive name. This evergreen plant typically reaches a height of 5-10 meters and has a spreading habit.

To grow Banksia serrata, it requires a sunny location and well-drained soil. It is drought-tolerant and adaptable to a range of soil types, including sandy and clay soils. It can withstand coastal conditions and moderate frost once established. Regular watering during the establishment period is recommended, but it generally doesn't require much maintenance once established.

The Saw Banksia produces striking cylindrical flower spikes that are typically yellow or greenish-yellow in color, blooming in late summer and autumn. These flowers are a source of nectar, attracting birds and other wildlife to the garden.

With its unique foliage and impressive flowers, Banksia serrata is a visually appealing and hardy plant that can be a beautiful addition to native gardens or landscapes.
