Description
Westringia fruticosa ‘Low Horizon,’ commonly known as Coast Rosemary, is a compact, evergreen shrub prized for its dense, low-growing habit and fine-textured foliage that resembles rosemary, though it is not a true rosemary. Native to the coastal regions of Australia, this cultivar was developed to offer a more restrained growth form, making it ideal for ground cover, low hedges, or foundation plantings in landscapes. It features soft, gray-green leaves and produces delicate pale lilac to white flowers that bloom intermittently throughout the warmer months, attracting pollinators such as bees. Westringia ‘Low Horizon’ is highly valued for its exceptional drought tolerance, adaptability to poor soils, and resistance to pests and diseases, making it an excellent choice for sustainable landscaping in coastal and dry environments. Its versatility and low maintenance requirements have made it a popular selection among gardeners looking for a hardy, ornamental shrub that delivers year-round structure and subtle floral interest.
