Westringia are tough, salt-tolerant Australian native shrubs exceptionally well-suited to coastal hedging and screening. Producing masses of small white or mauve flowers, they thrive in the exposed, salt-laden conditions that challenge other hedging plants.
Coastal-site planting punishes weak stock. Salt spray, drying winds, nutrient-leached sandy soils, and intense UV rapidly expose any plant that was raised in a sheltered inland environment and transported to the coast for sale. Every specimen of this variety is grown on-site at Ewingsdale, 7 km from the Pacific coastline — so it's already adapted by the time it leaves the nursery. No acclimatisation period, no transplant shock, and substantially lower on-site failure rates than inland-grown alternatives on comparable sites.
