Overview

The Small Leafed Westringia (Westringia brevifolia) is a robust, evergreen shrub, native to Australia. It features dense, gray-green foliage and small, white to light mauve flowers emerging mainly in spring. Typically reaching 2-3 feet in height and 2-4 feet in spread, it's an excellent choice for low hedges or coastal landscapes due to its drought and salt tolerance. Thrives in full sun to part shade in well-drained soils.
