Banksia Plagiocarpa

“Paper Daisies” in shades of pink are unusual, this larger form (.5m) of Bracteantha (helichrysum….. xerochrysum…..)is fast growing and hardy, producing plenty of large flowers throughout autumn, winter & spring – sometimes for most of the year!! Remove spent flowers and shape as necessary to encourage a compact dense form. Fertilise with a balanced fertiliser during high growth periods, mulch well and water in drier months. Hardy in most soils but enjoys organic matter, a good compost enhances growth.
