Native Hedge

This is the flower of a native hedging plant, called Westringia fruticosa. It goes by the common name Westringia, or very occasionally you will hear it being called Native Rosemary. I imagine the latter of the common names comes from its appearance. It has small, narrow leaves and little white flowers that are about 1.5cm in size. It grows about 2m in height and definitely grows best as a hedge. It isnt as deep green in colour as Rosemary is, instead it has a lovely bluey silver appearance to it. It loves full sun and benefits from a good pruning to hold it into shape. Honey Eater birds enjoy the nectar in the flowers, but I wouldnt really call them a big bird attracting plant. In my experience, birds dont tend to seek it out, more along the lines of; they will come if they see it. So it would compliment a bird attracting garden beautifully.
