(Seed Grown)
I'm not going to lie to you. If there were ever a Banksia that thrived on seducing then betraying gardeners, this would be it. It requires perfect drainage, all-day sun, and not too much fussing. But! If you make this diva happy, you'll be rewarded with those glowing red flowers that last for weeks in arrangements.
