shrub, groundcover
Banksia repens is a broadleaf evergreen groundcover shrub with green foliage. In spring and winter apricot, bronze and coral flowers emerge. Attracts bees, butterflies and hummingbirds making it an excellent addition to pollinator gardens. Grows well with sun - mostly sun and occasional - low water. Drought tolerant once established. Prefers to be dry in summer. Does well in gritty, lean, rocky and well-drained soil. A good option if you're seeking something heat tolerant, seaside / salt tolerant and wind tolerant.
