🌳 Landscaping importance
‘Grey Box’ is an excellent low-maintenance landscaping plant and is especially valuable where you need a neat, evergreen-looking structure without a large shrub.
Great for:
- Low hedges
- Garden borders
- Pathway edging
- Mass planting
- Native gardens
- Coastal gardens
- Rockeries
- Commercial landscaping
- Pots and large containers
For a nursery, I’d particularly promote it as a “low-maintenance native hedge” because that is an attractive selling point for Perth customers.
☀️ Care in Perth
Position: Full sun to part shade. Full sun generally produces the best compact growth.
Soil: Well-drained soil. Westringia is adaptable and generally performs well in Perth soils.
Water: Water regularly during establishment. Once established, it is relatively drought tolerant.
Fertiliser: Use a controlled-release native plant fertiliser in spring if required. Avoid excessive fertilising.
Pruning: Responds very well to pruning. Trim regularly to maintain a dense, neat hedge. Avoid cutting excessively into old bare wood.
Spacing for hedge: For a dense low hedge, approximately 50–70 cm apart, depending on the desired finish and plant size.
⭐ Why choose Westringia ‘Grey Box’?
Its combination of silvery foliage, compact growth, drought tolerance and easy pruning makes it a very practical plant for Perth gardens.
