Westringia is probably the most common native used for hedging in Australia. Of those on our list of Not So Common hedge plants, Westringia and Pittosporum are the two most common. When allowed to grow naturally into a tight bun shape, Westringia looks fantastic as a low, curvy rather than square hedge. The grey-green foliage is a feature of this plant which continues to grow in popularity.
The blooms aren’t spectacular but aren’t to be sneezed at either. The worst problem you could have is gaps or, somewhat worse, a hedge that looks very bare because it’s been squared off rather than kept in the more circular bun shape.
