Westringia Low Horizon

Westringia ‘Low Horizon’ is a tough, low-growing evergreen Australian native shrub that forms a dense spreading carpet of soft grey-green foliage. Selected for its naturally prostrate habit, this versatile variety is perfect for ground cover, cascading over retaining walls, stabilising banks and filling difficult sunny areas where other plants struggle.

Throughout spring and summer, and often sporadically throughout the year, Westringia ‘Low Horizon’ produces masses of delicate white flowers with subtle mauve markings. These nectar-rich blooms attract bees and other beneficial pollinators while contrasting beautifully against the fine silvery foliage.

One of the toughest landscape plants available, Westringia ‘Low Horizon’ thrives in coastal environments, tolerates prolonged dry periods once established, and handles wind, frost and poor soils with ease. Its naturally compact growth means very little pruning is required, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance gardens.

Whether used as a weed-suppressing ground cover, planted along pathways, or allowed to spill over walls and raised beds, Westringia ‘Low Horizon’ provides year-round colour, texture and reliable performance.
