Westringia fruticosa
Westringia are tough, salt-tolerant Australian native shrubs exceptionally well-suited to coastal hedging and screening. Producing masses of small white or mauve flowers, they thrive in the exposed, salt-laden conditions that challenge other hedging plants.
Specifier notes. Specified across commercial hedging projects from boundary screens to formal clipped lines.
Site & establishment. Tolerates coastal exposure provided the planting hole drains and soil is not waterlogged. Salt tolerance is high enough for direct salt-laden wind exposure once established.
How we supply it. Australian native — useful where Australian native specification is mandated by brief or council. Flowering display adds seasonal interest beyond the structural role.
Cape Nursery production. All Cape Nursery stock is grown 7 km from the Pacific Ocean, hardened to coastal sun and wind from propagation rather than acclimatised at point of sale. Specimens leave us biosecurity-traceable, and root-checked. National delivery is available; collection from Ewingsdale is welcomed Mon–Thu 7:30am–4pm.
