Westringia glabra, commonly known as “Violet Westringia,” is a popular landscaping plant native to Australia. This evergreen shrub has narrow, grey-green leaves and produces small lavender flowers from late winter to early summer. It can grow up to 1.5 metres tall and wide, but can be pruned to maintain a smaller size. The plant prefers full sun to part shade and well-draining soil, making it a great option for coastal gardens or drought-tolerant landscapes. It is also known for its tolerance to salt spray, making it a popular choice for seaside gardens.
