Westringia ‘Naringa’

Naringa Westringia is the best hedging Westringia available for medium to tall hedges. Tidy form with masses of mauve coloured flowers in spring and regularly at other times. Needs pruning about half as much as other Westringias, and in a natural setting, probably not at all. Grows to a size of 1m high x 60cm wide pruned; 2.2m high x 1.5m wide unpruned. Planting density is suggested 1-2 plants per m², 1-2 plants per linear metre. Great for a tidy hedging or specimen plant.

Position in full sun to part shade. Suits sandy to well drained clay soils, avoid wet feet and depressed planting areas. Tolerates cold and drought. Water as required for 8-13 weeks until established. Plant in a well mulched garden (chunky mulch is recommended). If required use slow release fertiliser in spring. Either leave unpruned in its tidy natural form or prune to shape 1-3 times a year after flowering (this depends on your requirements, more frequent pruning will provide a tidier hedge/shape).

• Full sun to part shade.
• Grows 2.2m x 1.5m.
