Westringia 'Wynyabbie Gem' is a hardy, fast-growing Australian native shrub with soft, grey-green foliage and masses of soft mauve to purple flowers throughout most of the year. A popular cultivar of coastal rosemary, this reliable plant thrives in a wide range of soil and climate conditions, making it ideal for low-maintenance gardens across Australia.

It has a compact, bushy habit that responds well to clipping, making it perfect for formal hedging, informal screens, coastal gardens, or as a feature shrub in native planting schemes. With its high drought and wind tolerance, it's an excellent choice for exposed areas and low-water landscapes.
