Common Name:
Coastal Rosemary ‘Smoke Screen’
Description:
Westringia SMOKE SCREEN™ ‘Mauve’ is a compact Australian native shrub admired for its soft grey-green foliage and prolific mauve flowers that appear throughout much of the year. Its naturally dense and rounded habit makes it an excellent low-maintenance choice for hedging, borders, coastal gardens, and contemporary landscapes. Highly tolerant of drought, wind, salt spray, and pruning, this hardy variety performs exceptionally well in Melbourne conditions once established. It thrives in full sun with well-drained soil and responds well to regular trimming, maintaining a tidy appearance with minimal care. The subtle flower colour and smoky foliage tones provide a calming contrast in both native and formal garden settings.
