Westringia Edna Walling® Rosemary™

A shapely small to medium shrub (80cm - 1.2m), with soft grey-green foliage to complement the dainty violet-lilac flowers, which bloom from winter to summer and are attractive to butterflies and harmless little native bees. Hardy and adaptable in a wide range of climates, from sub tropical to temperate and semi arid. Loves full sun or light shade, and grows best in well drained clay loam, or sandy soils, slightly acid to mildly alkaline pH.  Suitable for coastal gardens, and will tolerate light to moderate frosts.

Uses: Attractive as a specimen or flowering container plant; ideal for formal hedging and for mid level screening.

Maintenance: If used as a hedge, plant at 60cm centres; prune lightly in first year to develop dense growth. Trim lightly as required to maintain preferred height and width. Fertilise in early spring or late summer with controlled release low phosphorus fertiliser.  If container grown, use best quality free-draining potting medium, do not over water.
