Its diminutive size makes it suitable for small gardens, patios and pot culture but it is not often seen in cultivation.

The leaves are 5-11 cm long with either serrated or entire edges. The colour is mid-green on the upper surface and light silvery grey on the underside with a rusty red midvein.  It is this midvein that gives it the common name of Rusty Banksia. Flowering occurs during autumn-winter, the flowers being 5-15 cm high by 4-5 cm wide and whitish-yellow to a strong bright yellow though reddish forms have been seen. Banksias prefer a free draining soil.
