Description

Eremophila maculata 'Ballerina' is a medium-sized, evergreen shrub native to Australia, particularly well-suited to Perth's climate. It features narrow, dark green foliage and produces masses of deep pink, flared tubular flowers with spotted throats, blooming extensively during spring and summer (Djilba to Birak). This plant thrives in well-drained soils, including clays, loams, and sands, and prefers full sun positions. 'Ballerina' is drought-hardy once established but will perform better with water during heatwaves. It typically reaches 2 M in height and 1.5 M in width, making it ideal for garden beds, borders, or as a low hedge.

To maintain a dense habit, prune lightly after flowering. 'Ballerina' is suitable for native gardens, low-maintenance gardens, coastal gardens, and waterwise gardens. Its vibrant flowers attract birds and pollinators, adding life to your garden. This resilient shrub is well-adapted to Perth's conditions, offering both aesthetic appeal and ease of care.
