Plants of the Westringia variety are another highly versatile Australian native that suits a wide variety of uses ranging from expansive groundcover, to colourful formal hedges, box gardens, retaining walls or as an ornamental shrub. There are many varieties that do very well in Brisbane soils and climate.

The westringia varieties feature dense, fast-growing foliage with delicate mauve, blue-purple or white flowers with contrasting red or brown spots near the throat of each flower. The grey to deep green leaves form attractive whorls around the stem.

Westringia usually flower prolifically, often throughout the year, and also respond well to pruning making them perfect for pruning into ball shapes or a low hedge.

The popular Westringia owes its common names, ‘native rosemary’ or ‘coastal rosemary’, more to the shape of its leaves than any distinctive aroma. The leaves are often covered with an attractive contrasting grey or white velvety sheen.

Growing height depends on the variety.

Being native to Australia, westringias have developed a hardy tolerance for a wide range of climates including drought, cold and frost, and humid conditions as well.

Westringia naturally occur on coastal cliffs and will do well in all coastal settings.

They generally like full sun and soil with adequate drainage and will cope perfectly well with sandy soils.

Westringias have a low watering requirement so that’s another big plus for most gardeners and keeping them well-mulched through the hot summer months will reduce their thirst even further.
