Banksia marginata, commonly known as the Silver Banksia tree, is grown for both its foliage and flowers. From spring through winter, it bears yellow, bottlebrush-like flowers, up to 20 cm long. The flowers are great for attracting birds and are complemented by dense, dark green leaves that have a silver underside. The Silver Banksia typically grows to 2 m tall and the same wide in size, though it can be trimmed as necessary. Banksia marginata is great for adding to a mixed planting, and is often used for screening, attracting birds, in parks, and for erosion control.
