About

Banksia sessilis var. sessilis is the most populous and most widespread variety of Banksia sessilis (parrot bush).

How to grow it

It is a hardy plant that tolerates a wide range of soils and conditions, including drought and moderate frost. It flowers heavily, and produces an abundance of honey. However it is too large for smaller gardens, and in suitable conditions can produce many seedlings.

Where it grows

B. sessilis var. sessilis occurs in a wide belt running from Regans Ford and Moora in the north, southeast to Collie and Bremer Bay.
