Westringia 'Wynyabbie Highlight'
Wynyabbie Hightlight Westringia
Description
Westringia 'Wynyabbie Highlight' (Australian Variegated Rosemary) - A compact evergreen shrub that grows to at least 3-4 feet tall and as wide with cream margined, slender, gray-green (white beneath) 1 inch long leaves that radiate out from the dark stems in evenly spaced whorls. The clusters of attractive mauve-pink flowers are produced throughout the year. Plant in full sun to light shade. It is drought and seaside tolerant, and like 'Wynyabbie Gem', should take cold down to 25 degrees F. It is distinct from the parent plant with its more compact growth form and attractively variegated leaf margins.
