Description
This prostrate form of Banksia integrifolia features a scrambling, ground-hugging habit with bold yellow flower spikes mainly from late summer to autumn. Naturally bird-attracting, it’s a resilient and eye-catching addition to native gardens, embankments, or coastal plantings. It thrives in well-drained soils and full sun and is tolerant of salt-laden winds, making it perfect for seaside landscapes or low-maintenance habitat gardens.
