Description: Westringia fruticosa ‘Funky Chunky’ is a compact and dense Australian native shrub, valued for its tight, mounded form and soft grey-green foliage. This improved variety of coastal rosemary features broader leaves and a naturally rounded habit, making it ideal for low hedging, borders and contemporary landscape designs. It produces small, delicate pale mauve to white flowers intermittently throughout the year, adding subtle seasonal interest while attracting pollinators. Exceptionally well suited to Melbourne conditions, ‘Funky Chunky’ thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soil. It is highly tolerant of drought, coastal exposure and wind, making it a reliable and low-maintenance choice for a wide range of garden settings. Its compact size and tidy growth habit reduce the need for frequent pruning, making it perfect for both residential and commercial landscapes.
