Banksia marginata, also known as the Silver Banksia, is a native Australian shrub or small tree that typically grows up to 8 meters tall. Recognized for its silvery, lance-shaped leaves and distinctive golden-yellow flower spikes, it blooms in late winter to early spring, attracting a variety of pollinators such as bees and birds.

This versatile plant thrives in a range of habitats, including coastal heathlands and forests, preferring well-drained soils and full sun. Its attractive, woody seed cones are a key feature, and it is commonly used in landscaping due to its resilience to both drought and frost.

The Silver Banksia is ecologically important, providing food and shelter for wildlife, and its deep root system helps prevent soil erosion. Known for its beauty and hardiness, Banksia marginata is a popular choice for native gardens, offering both aesthetic and environmental benefits.
