Native Shrubs & Ground Covers Range

Uses: Small formal/informal hedges (also as a border plant, in containers and for mass planting)
Position & Tolerances: Full sun to light shade. Very frost and drought tolerant. Will tolerate periodic wet feet, a unique characteristic for a Westringia

Flowers: White flowers from September to May
Foliage: Stunning grey foliage that contrasts well with green plants

Planting Density: 2-3 plants per linear metre (3-6 plants per m²)
Where it thrives: QLD, NSW, ACT, VIC, TAS, SA and WA
Pruning: Prune to shape 1-3 times per year after flowering. More frequent pruning will provide a tidier hedge or shape. This plant can be left unpruned and will retain a naturally tidy, compact ball shape

Water as required for 8-13 weeks until established.
Plant in a well mulched garden, a chunky mulch is recommended.
Use slow release fertiliser in spring, if required.
