Banksia ilicifolia
$20.00
Banksia ilicifolia, commonly known as the Holly-Leaved Banksia, is a distinctive Western Australian native tree with close botanical links to the former dryandras. Unlike the classic cylindrical flower spikes that most banksias are known for, this species produces unusual dome-shaped flower heads, making it instantly recognisable in the landscape. The dark green foliage is sharply serrated and strongly resembles holly leaves, giving rise to its common name. The leaves form a dense canopy, providing year-round structure and texture in the garden. Flowering mainly in spring, the blooms emerge creamy-pink and gradually deepen to rich red tones as they mature. These nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to birds, bees and other beneficial insects, bringing vibrant wildlife activity into the garden.
