Common Name:
Dwarf Silver Banksia

Description:
Banksia marginata 'Mini Marg' is a compact, evergreen Australian native shrub prized for its dense, rounded form and striking foliage. The narrow, dark green leaves reveal silvery undersides, creating a shimmering effect in the landscape. From late winter through to summer, it produces abundant bright yellow flower spikes that attract nectar-feeding birds, bees, and other pollinators. This low-maintenance plant thrives in well-drained soils and is tolerant of coastal conditions, drought, and light frost.
