We have planted 45 of this form of W. ‘Wild River’, height 50cm, width 50cm, with lush green leaves and deep purple flowers, from 2012-19. Plant breeder is Ian Shimmen. This compact, long-flowering plant is one of the most reliable in our garden.

Westringia longifolia ‘Snow Flurry’
We have planted ten of these pen shrubs, 1.5m high x 1.5 m wide, with linear leaves and white flowers, from 2004-2013. We have had to remove one shrub for growing so vigorously that it became too large for its position.
