Westringia ‘SMOKE SCREEN™ Purple’

Common Name:
Coastal Rosemary 'SMOKE SCREEN™ Purple'

Description:
Westringia ‘SMOKE SCREEN™ Purple’ is a dense, compact Australian native shrub selected for its refined silvery-grey foliage and masses of soft purple flowers that bloom throughout the warmer months. This low-maintenance plant forms a naturally tidy, rounded shape with minimal pruning, making it an ideal choice for modern landscapes, native gardens, and coastal plantings. The soft foliage provides year-round colour and texture, while the purple flowers attract bees and other beneficial insects from spring to autumn. Exceptionally hardy in Melbourne’s conditions, ‘SMOKE SCREEN™ Purple’ thrives in full sun to part shade, tolerates coastal winds, drought, and light frost, and performs well in a range of soil types as long as they are well-drained. Perfect for hedging, screening, mass planting, or use as a feature shrub in pots or borders, this variety combines native resilience with ornamental appeal.
