Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

"Sentinel", a cultivar of Coast Banksia (Banksia integrifolia), presents captivating light yellow blossoms during Djilba (late winter/spring), paired with its characteristic glossy green leaves. Ideal for narrow spaces, this slender upright tree serves as a natural privacy screen or windbreak. With its textured bark and cylindrical flower spikes, it not only beautifies landscapes but also attracts native wildlife.

For optimal growth of "Sentinel", a sunny to partly shaded spot is ideal when planting in the ground. To combat sandy or poor soils, integrate organic compost for nourishment. Regular watering during its early growth stages is essential, tapering to a moderate amount in Djeran (autumn) and Makuru (winter). To keep it thriving, an application of slow-release native fertiliser during Bunuru (late summer/early autumn) is beneficial. Pruning can be performed post-flowering to shape and encourage fresh growth.
