Hinchinbrook
Banksia plagiocarpa
Banksia Hinchinbrook is a striking Australian native shrub celebrated for its bold cylindrical flower spikes and attractive silvery-green foliage. This variety of Banksia combines exceptional ornamental appeal with impressive garden performance.
Producing large, blue-mauve cones from autumn to winter, Banksia Hinchinbrook is a magnet for native birds and pollinators. Its dense, rounded habit and soft grey-green foliage make it a standout feature plant, hedge, or screening option in both residential gardens and landscape projects.
Highly adaptable and resilient, this Banksia thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soils. Once established, it is drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and coastal-friendly, making it ideal for Australian conditions. It responds well to light pruning after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushy growth.
