I am a grey leaf form of the native coastal rosemary with bluish-purple flowers.
I am smaller and slower growing than most Westringias making me ideal as a low hedge which can be maintained as a formal hedge as low as 25cm.
As a hardy evergreen shrub I flower throughout most of the year, more profusely in spring, upon attractive grey-green foliage.
I thrive in most soils from clay to sand, acid and alkaline but dislike wet feet.
I attract native wildlife including birds and insects.
I can be clipped to a formal shape but am naturally dense and will develop a rounded form when left unclipped.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
My low form and slow growth makes me a favourite for low formal box style hedges
I flower from late winter through to the end of summer
I am ideal for native & coastal gardens attracting bees, butterflies & beneficial insects
