A dense and compact small shrub that is perfect for rockeries and smaller gardens, whether mass planted for dramatic effect, in small groups or in containers on the patio, verandah or deck. It is frost tolerant, and suits acid to alkaline soils. Likes well drained soil types, in heavier soils it is advisable to build raised beds and add some organic matter. Banksias are phosphorus sensitive, so a good native fertiliser is best when it comes to feeding time.
