Westringia fruticosa ‘Smokey’, commonly known as Smokey Coastal Rosemary, is a hardy, evergreen Australian native shrub with silvery-grey foliage that gives it a distinctive smoky appearance. This dense and compact shrub is ideal for coastal gardens, hedging, and low-maintenance landscapes.

Throughout the year, ‘Smokey’ produces small, pale lilac to white flowers, adding a delicate touch to its silvery-green foliage. It thrives in full sun to part shade and is highly tolerant of coastal conditions, drought, and strong winds.
