Plant description
Westringia fruticosa 'Naringa' is a compact perennial shrub with blue grey foliage. It is one of the best hedging Westringias available because of its tight foliage. It can be trimmed as a formal hedge or left natural where it will hold its form well. Westringia are great for coastal gardens as they can handle strong salt winds. Naringa will make a great wind break in coastal gardens.
Westringia grow well in a wide range of soil types. They are an easy care plant, and they have few pests or disease problems.
