Westringia hyb. (WES01) NARINGA™

Common Name:
Naringa Westringia

Description:
Westringia hybrid (WES01) NARINGA™ is a hardy, fast-growing Australian native shrub developed for reliable performance, dense growth, and repeat flowering. It features fine, evergreen grey-green foliage and produces a profusion of soft mauve to purple flowers, mainly in spring and summer, with spot flowering through the year in warmer climates like Melbourne. NARINGA™ is one of the best-performing Westringia cultivars for formal or informal hedging, prized for its naturally tidy shape, rapid growth, and excellent tolerance to pruning — making it perfect for shaping into low to medium hedges or screens.

This cultivar thrives in full sun to part shade and is extremely drought and frost tolerant once established. It’s also ideal for coastal conditions, clay soils, and wind-exposed sites. With its native resilience and neat form, NARINGA™ suits native gardens, contemporary designs, public spaces, and residential hedging where low maintenance and reliable structure are key.
