Banksia spinulosa

Check your plant’s identity

Does the label say Banksia spinulosa, hairpin banksia, or a named form of it such as 'Birthday Candles', 'Coastal Cushion' or 'Stumpy Gold'? 'Giant Candles' is a hybrid with another banksia and other banksias are different plants. If there is no clear label, choose I don't know; the picture does not confirm your plant.

Important precautions

No reliable record says whether this plant is safe for people or pets. Don't let children or pets chew the leaves or woody cones, and call a vet or poison service if they do.

Care guidance is partial and depends on your growing conditions. Check the available guidance in the app; this profile does not promise complete care. A representative illustration does not confirm your plant’s identity.
