Westringia longifolia, commonly known as Long-Leaved Westringia, is an evergreen shrub native to coastal heathlands and open forests in New South Wales, Australia. It typically grows to a height of 1–3 m (3 ft 3 in – 9 ft 10 in) with a similar spread, featuring a dense and bushy habit. The leaves are narrow, long, and gray-green, giving the plant a soft, textured appearance. Westringia longifolia produces small, tubular flowers that are mostly white or occasionally mauve with purple spots, and they have a light brown, silky interior. The flowering season extends from July to December, with the flowers being modestly showy and attracting bees and other pollinators.

This shrub is valued for its drought tolerance and ability to thrive in coastal conditions, making it an excellent choice for seaside gardens, low hedges, and as a general-purpose landscape plant. It is also used for erosion control on slopes. Long-Leaved Westringia is adaptable to a range of soil types, provided they are well-drained, and it can tolerate both full sun and part shade. While it is generally low-maintenance, occasional pruning can help maintain its shape and encourage denser foliage.CC BY-SA 4.0
