#Banksia serrata is excellent as a large potted plant. The rough stem, serrated bright green leaves and the huge flowering cones (smelling of butterscotch) that persist with large seed follicles.

Before and after... 🫣 Pruned back the #Banksia solandri after its annual stint as our Christmas tree. #ProteaceaeInPots #gardeningau

@dizzy Be fastidious with clean plastic pots if you're growing Western Australian #Banksia . They are very prone to phytopthora root rot. I soak used plastic pots in bleach solution. I also spray phosphoric acid on the foliage every 6 months or so (can get at hardware in pesticides section). Good luck! #ProteaceaeInPots

#Banksia serrata (old man banksia) with a massive grey cylinder of flowers about to start opening from the base upwards.

This is a good one to grow in a large pot. Being from the east coast of Australia it is more tolerant of a frequently moist growing medium. Broken pot from when it got blown over earlier this year.

#Banksia as bonsai. Who would have thought! The bonsai collection at the National Arboretum is a must see. #ProteaceaeInPots #bonsai #ozplants

The potted #Banksia serrata is finally flowering, as the stigmas start emerging from individual flowers at the bottom of the flowering cone (cylinder)?

The smell up close is divine - the sweetest butterscotch. #proteaceae #Proteaceaeinpots
