Common Name: Bulli Coastal Creeper Westringia
Description:
Westringia 'Bulli Coastal Creeper' is a hardy, low-growing Australian native shrub known for its dense, spreading habit and soft, grey-green foliage. It produces delicate pale purple to mauve flowers almost year-round, with peak flowering in spring and summer. Thriving in Melbourne’s coastal and inland conditions, this plant prefers well-drained soil and full sun but can tolerate part shade. Extremely drought- and salt-tolerant, it is ideal for coastal gardens, rockeries, embankments, and as a ground cover in low-maintenance landscapes. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape, and its nectar-rich flowers attract bees and butterflies, making it a great addition to pollinator-friendly gardens.
