Description

A great groundcover form of coastal rosemary. Used as a specimen or in mass, Mundi is great for tough roadsides and residential gardens alike. Best suited to Zones 9-11 in arid climates although Mundi continues to show potential for low water gardens in humid regions. Mundi's super short height and infrequent pruning requirement distinguish it from other Westringia currently on the market. Coastal rosemary, so named for its rosemary-like leaves, is a drought and salt tolerant shrub that works well in coastal plantings. Some Westringia varieties, including Mundi, are also proving to be adapt to humid, subtropical climates of the southeastern US. So while Westringia are best suited to Mediterranean climates. Established plants quickly grow to 1-2 feet tall and 4-6 feet wide. It can tolerate full sun in coastal areas but afternoon shade in warm inland areas. Small white flowers dot the plant from winter to late spring but may bloom year round in coastal areas.

Water Saving Tip:

Water high water-use plants separately from low water-use plants.

Low water-use plants can grow with one-half the water needed by high water-use plants, and can be easily damaged from over watering.
