Botanical Name: Westringia Smokey 250mm Pot
Common Name: Smokey Coast Rosemary / Variegated Westringia
Average Height (from the top of the pot): 250mm
Westringia Smokey is a hardy Australian native shrub loved for its soft grey-green variegated foliage, compact growth habit and low-maintenance nature. It is an excellent choice for Sydney gardens, coastal landscapes, borders, low hedging, feature planting and native garden designs.
This 250mm pot size is a more advanced option compared to smaller starter plants, giving customers a fuller Westringia with stronger instant impact. Once established, Westringia Smokey forms a neat, dense shrub that can be lightly trimmed into a low hedge or left more natural for a soft native garden look.
Westringia is popular because it is tough, tidy and versatile. It handles full sun, coastal conditions and regular trimming well, making it a reliable option for low-maintenance landscapes and modern garden designs.
