Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

Eremophila glabra 'Kalbarri Carpet' is a hardy, low-growing groundcover native to Western Australia. This evergreen plant features dense, soft grey foliage that forms a lush carpet, reaching a height of 10–20 cm and spreading 1–2 metres wide. During early to late spring (Djilba to Kambarang), it produces vibrant yellow flowers tinged with orange, attracting nectar-feeding birds and adding a splash of colour to gardens. 'Kalbarri Carpet' thrives in full sun and is well-suited to Perth's climate, making it an excellent choice for mass planting, embankments, and rockeries.

For optimal growth, plant 'Kalbarri Carpet' in sandy or loamy, well-draining soil. While it is drought-hardy once established, providing additional water during heatwaves will enhance its performance. This plant is low-maintenance and can tolerate coastal conditions, making it ideal for various landscape applications. Pruning is generally unnecessary, but light trimming after the main flowering period can promote a denser habit. Avoid overwatering and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. 'Kalbarri Carpet' is a resilient and attractive addition to Perth gardens, offering year-round appeal with its foliage and seasonal blooms.
