Description,
Notes
|
Western Australian native groundcover
to small shrub in the Protea (Proteaceae) Family grown
for its waxy fern-like foliage and showy open-centered
blooms; rarely seen thriller that flourished with little
maintenance or water once established; drought and cold
tolerant; good cut flower; prefers well drained soils;
deer resistant; Dryandra was its own genus before being
reclassified into Banksia in 2017, though most people
still use the former name.
