Size 500g | Banksia integrifolia
Banksia integrifolia or ‘Coastal Banksia’ is a hardy native found down the Eastern coastline of Australia. Often seen in windswept and sculptural shapes along beach fronts, when placed in a less hostile environment, they can become quite beautiful, bushy specimen plants. They grow anywhere between 4m - 10m and 1m - 5m wide, depending on their environment. During autumn and winter their yellow flowers form into large cones, rich with nectar. These stunning flowers attract lots of bird life, particularly cockatoos and honey-eaters. Coastal Banksia is a slow grower and can handle a wide range of soil types.

| Content | Features
- Boosted magnesium keeps leaves green for longer, especially on citrus
- The release of nutrients depends on temperature - more when it's warm and plants are growing and less when it's cold and growth is slow
- Scotts Osmocote® uses advanced prill technology that ensures even and controlled nutrient release with no wastage Controlled release means feeding less often and more effectively; less frequent feeding is more economical and environment-friendly
- Wetting agent enhances water absorption into the soil or potting mix and helps plants take up nutrients
- Less than 2% phosphorus (the 'P' in NPK) means it can be safely used on most Australian native fruit trees such as Davidson's Plum, Finger Limes and Quandongs
SUITABLE FOR
- Evergreen and deciduous ornamental trees and shrubs, shrubs, climbers, vines and grasses
- Fruit trees including citrus, stone fruits, apples and pears, grapevines and berries
- Potted foliage and fruiting plants including dwarf, espalier and columnar fruit trees
- Safe to use on new plants - the controlled release of nutrients means it will not burn soft leaves or tender young roots
