Pygmy Possum banksia is an unusual native ground cover with dense, mid-green trailing growth. The large silver-yellow nectar-rich flowers adorn the plant in summer and autumn. Pygmy Possum is ideally used in coastal gardens, poolside, rockeries, carpet planting in mixed borders, and in large containers. As with all banksias, the native plant will bring birds, bees and butterflies to the garden.
