The species is not widely available in the nursery trade, but is occasionally available from specialist native plant nurseries.
Banksia blechnifolia is a unique and fascinating species of flowering plant found in Western Australia. It was first described by botanist Ferdinand von Mueller in 1864 and is known for its fern-like leaves. This prostrate shrub grows in sandy soils in the south coastal region of Western Australia and produces red-brown flower spikes from September to November. These spikes develop into woody seed pods, which are pollinated by insects such as bees, wasps, ants, and flies. B. blechnifolia is non-lignotuberous, meaning it regenerates by seed after bushfire. It is adaptable to cultivation and is suitable for rockeries and as a groundcover. Its unique appearance and hardiness make it a popular choice for native plant enthusiasts.
