About Westringia fruticosa (Willd.) Druce
Westringia fruticosa (Willd.) Druce produces white, hairy flowers. Its upper petal is split into two lobes, and the lower half of the flower bears spots that range in color from orange to purplish. This is a very hardy shrub that grows on cliffs directly adjacent to the ocean. In cultivation, this species is very popular for several reasons: it tolerates a wide range of soil types, has neatly arranged whorled leaves, and flowers year-round. It, or one or more of its cultivars, has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
