Description

Eremophila 'Red Desert' is a striking Australian native groundcover, perfect for adding vibrant colour to your garden. This evergreen plant reaches a compact 30 cm in height and spreads up to 1 m, making it an excellent choice for garden beds, borders, or rockeries. Its tubular flowers, tinged in red with shades of orange, bloom predominantly during early spring (Djilba) to late spring (Kambarang), with the potential to flower year-round under favourable conditions. Dense green foliage complements its blossoms, creating a lush, low-maintenance feature.

'Red Desert' thrives in full sun and sandy or loamy, well-draining soils, ideal for Perth's climate. Once established, it is drought-hardy but performs best with occasional watering during heatwaves. Light pruning after the main flowering season helps maintain its shape and encourages further blooms. This versatile groundcover attracts nectar-feeding birds and insects, enhancing the biodiversity of your garden while providing stunning year-round interest.
