Westringia White Coastal Rosemary Live Plant – 1 Rooted Flowering Shrub 6–12”

Westringia White Coastal Rosemary is a tough, evergreen shrub prized for its fine, rosemary-like foliage and soft white flowers. This Australian native brings a relaxed, coastal feel to gardens, borders, and containers, and its dense habit makes it an excellent choice for low hedges or mixed plantings. The narrow, gray-green leaves provide year-round texture, while the small white blooms add a gentle contrast through the growing season.

This listing offers one live, rooted plant that is already established and ready to settle into your garden. With its naturally upright yet bushy form, Westringia works well in sunny beds, dry borders, and seaside-inspired landscapes. It is also a useful shrub for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant plant that can handle wind and salt spray once established.

Planting & Care

Choose a location with well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight. Dig a hole slightly wider than the root ball, place the plant at the same depth it was growing in its pot, and backfill gently. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the first few months while roots establish. A layer of mulch can help retain moisture and suppress weeds, but keep it away from the stem.

Once established, Westringia is relatively drought tolerant, though it benefits from occasional deep watering during prolonged dry spells. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain a dense, tidy shape and encourages fresh growth. Avoid heavy pruning into old wood. This shrub is generally pest and disease resistant and is well suited to coastal gardens, water-wise landscapes, and container culture.
