Plant description
This is a totally prostrate version of that tough old favourite plant, Westringia or Coastal Rosemary. Its grey-green foliage and small white flowers are attractive to butterflies and harmless native bees. This is an extremely tough ground cover that is great for stabilising erosion prone banks or just generally wherever a ground cover is required. It can also be grafted to form a weeping standard plant. It is very low maintenance with just a very occassional trim needed to remove any dead branches.
