Banksia repens (Creeping Banksia)

Banksia repens, the creeping banksia, is a species of shrub in the plant family Proteaceae. It occurs on the south coast of Western Australia from D'Entrecasteaux National Park in the west to Mount Ragged in the east. Seeds do not require any treatment, and take 29 to 56 days to germinate. The plant has long, fine leaves and produces golden-yellow flowers in late summer. Its spreading habit and fast growth make it an ideal choice for erosion control, ground cover, and low hedges.
