The only banksia occurring naturally in the Canberra region, marginata Banksia, or Silver Banksia, provides a eye-catching display with its varicoloured foliage - green on the upper leaf and silver underneath. Coupled with bright green-yellow banksia blooms from winter through to summer, the Silver Banksia is a glorious stand-alone native for the garden.
