Maintenance Tips

Westringia fruticosa is a fine-textured, evergreen shrub that grows 4-6' tall and 6-10' wide. Its common name is Coast Rosemary because the foliage resembles Rosemary. This plant will look and perform its best if it is given the space to reach its full mature size. The flowers bloom along the branches throughout the year in warmer climates so there is no need for deadheading. This shrub has a free-form growth habit so the thinning method is usually the best way to prune. Making pruning cuts towards the center will allow sunlight into the interior and will allow the plant to keep its free-form shape. If this shrub is being used as a formal hedge, it can be sheered to manage its shape and size without losing the blooming potential. It is a very tough plant, rarely suffering from pests or disease, and it can tolerate wind and sea spray.
