Prostanthera linearis syn Westringia purpurea

Description

Very Ornamental shrub with aromatic foliage and spectacular purple flower display in spring. It has been fast growing and very tolerant of low winter temperatures (18F)without noticeable damage. Summer watering is recommended however I have grown in full sun with no summer water once established. Originally this plant was brought over from NSW as Westringia purpurea. Great hedge or specimen plant for most gardens.
