Scarlet Honey Possum
Scarlet Honey Possum
Banksia coccinea
Scarlet Honey Possum (Banksia coccinea) is a truly spectacular Australian native, renowned for its vivid orange flowers and soft, velvety foliage. Its cone shaped flowers appear like glowing torches, with long fiery-orange pistils emerging from its silvery-grey coloured foliage, creating a dramatic contrast.
Perfectly suited to sandy soils and coastal conditions, Scarlet Honey Possum thrives in fresh air and cool breezes, making it an exceptional choice for seaside gardens and well-drained landscapes.
What sets our Banksia coccinea variety apart at Proteaflora is its provenance. Scarlet Honey Possum is cutting-grown from a single elite selection, ensuring outstanding uniformity, earlier flowering, and consistently longer, high-quality stems. This results in superior garden performance and exceptional cut-flower potential.
