Swamp Banksia is a fast growing, dramatic looking shrub with large serrated leaves. The new growth has a felty coating of brown hairs, which is an attractive feature. The flowers are bluish/green and turn yellow/green as the flower ages. Unusually, it tolerates wet soil and needs to be watered regularly during dry conditions. It makes a great screen or windbreak, poolside plant or stunning feature when grown in a large container.
