{"product_id":"banksia-attenuata-dwarf-candlestick-banksia","title":"Banksia attenuata - Dwarf Candlestick Banksia","description":"\u003cp\u003eBanksia attenuata \"Dwarf Form\", commonly referred to as the Candlestick Banksia, boasts luminous bright yellow inflorescences which burst to life during Djilba (late winter to early spring). As a compact shrub, its upright candle-like flower spikes not only add a touch of drama but also allure nectar-seeking birds, enhancing the natural vibrancy of your space. Despite its diminutive stature, it makes a commanding presence, ideal for a garden showpiece or a border feature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdapted for life in the ground, the Candlestick Banksia craves full sun, but can also flourish in part shade. Sandy soils are its preference, but if your soil leans towards the poorer side, enriching it with organic matter can greatly improve its texture and fertility. For optimum growth and flowering, treat the plant with a slow-release native fertiliser during Makuru (winter). If desired, a gentle prune post-flowering in Kambarang (late spring) can help maintain its shape and encourage a more lush display in subsequent years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eBanksia attenuata\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eDwarf Candlestick Banksia, Slender Banksia, Biara\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCultivar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eMedium Natives\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePBR Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eWestern Australia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eEvergreen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003e1 M\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003e2 M\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eFull sun\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eMust have well-draining, sandy or loamy soil.
