Mundi Native Rosemary - Westringia fruticosa Mundi

• Westringia fruticosa Mundi is a prostrate, spreading Australian native groundcover that maintains a naturally tidy form without pruning, yet responds beautifully to shaping when a more structured, architectural look is desired.
• White flowers appear through summer and autumn, adding seasonal colour to the spreading green foliage over an extended period from summer through to the end of autumn.
• Highly drought tolerant, frost hardy, and wind resistant, tough enough to survive on natural rainfall in most populated areas along the east coast of Australia once established.
• An outstanding choice for mass plantings, roadsides, slopes, and embankments where erosion control and minimal ongoing maintenance are priorities, growing to approximately 40cm to 50cm H x 1.5m W.
• Thrives in full sun to semi shade in well-drained soil and is suited to coastal gardens, low-water landscape schemes, rockeries, and native garden designs across a wide range of Australian climates.

Mass plant Mundi Westringia across open garden beds, slopes, and embankments for a seamless, low-growing groundcover that establishes quickly and requires virtually no ongoing care once settled in. On roadsides and verges, its exceptional drought, frost, and wind tolerance make it one of the most reliable and cost-effective low-maintenance landscape plants available for large-scale plantings. In coastal gardens, combine it with other wind-hardy natives such as Lomandra, Dianella, and Westringia Grey Box for a cohesive, low-water planting palette that performs year-round in exposed conditions. For a more structured look, clip Mundi into low, flowing architectural shapes along garden borders and pathways for a contemporary native garden aesthetic.
