Westringia Glabra

Common Name: Violet Westringia

Description:
Westringia glabra, commonly known as Violet Westringia, is a hardy, evergreen Australian native shrub featuring fine, dense foliage and delicate pale purple to violet flowers. Blooming for most of the year, with peak flowering in spring and summer, it is highly attractive to bees and other pollinators. This compact and fast-growing shrub is perfect for hedging, screening, or feature planting. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, Westringia glabra prefers full sun to part shade, well-drained soil, and is highly tolerant of drought, frost, and coastal conditions. Light pruning helps maintain a neat, bushy shape and encourages further flowering.
