Description:
Westringia fruticosa, commonly known as Coastal Rosemary, is a versatile and hardy evergreen native shrub. It is valued for its attractive foliage, low-maintenance nature, and ability to withstand coastal conditions. The plant features small, narrow grey-green foliage giving it a soft and silvery appearance. In spring to summer, clusters of small, white to pale lavender flowers bloom. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. This shrub is often used in coastal gardens, as a hedge or screening plant, or in drought-tolerant landscapes. Perfect for use as a native informal hedge and can be clipped into tight round shapes. Keep trimmed for the best effect. Grows to approx. 1-2m H x W.
