Westringea Fruticosa 'Smokie' (Smokie Westringea)
Westringea Fruticosa 'Smokie', commonly known as Smokie Westringea, is a hardy, evergreen shrub native to Australia, prized for its dense, variegated foliage. The slender grey-green leaves are edged with creamy white, creating a soft, textured appearance. In spring and summer, it produces delicate pale mauve to white flowers that attract pollinators, adding seasonal interest to gardens.
This low-maintenance shrub thrives in full sun to partial shade and is highly drought and salt-tolerant, making it perfect for coastal and inland gardens. Ideal for hedges, borders, or as a feature plant, the Smokie Westringea adds structure and subtle colour to landscapes while requiring minimal care.
