Why we love this plant!

This compact variety of Westringia is prized for its dense, low-maintenance growth and soft, grey-green foliage that complements a range of garden styles. Its delicate purple flowers provide nectar for native bees and other pollinators, contributing to local biodiversity. Adaptable to South East Queensland’s variable climate, it is drought and salt-tolerant, making it ideal for coastal gardens, hedging, borders, or as a natural windbreak.
