Westringia brevifolia is a compact, hardy Australian native shrub known for its fine grey-green foliage and delicate pale blue to lavender flowers. Naturally adapted to tough coastal and inland environments, it offers excellent resilience against heat, drought, and wind—making it a brilliant choice for low-maintenance Australian gardens.

This evergreen shrub forms a rounded, tidy shape and blooms profusely from spring through to autumn, often with spot flowering year-round. Ideal for native gardens, rockeries, borders, and informal hedges, Westringia brevifolia also responds well to pruning, making it suitable for shaping and structure in landscape design.
