Banksia attenuata, commonly known as the Slender Banksia or Candle Banksia, is a small tree grown for its foliage and flowers. It produces bright yellow flower spikes up to 30 cm long from winter through until summer, which are great for attracting birds. The long, dark green leaves serve as a pleasant contrast to the flowers as it grows to 6 m tall and 4 m wide. Banksia attenuata is commonly included in mixed plantings, used as a backdrop for smaller plants, planted to attract birds, grown as a specimen, or used anywhere a hardy and attractive plant is required.
