Description
Eremophila maculata ‘Silver’ is a captivating large native shrub with stunning white flowers adorned with delicate purple specks. The evergreen foliage provides year-round interest, while the shrub’s upright form and dense growth habit make it ideal for garden beds, screens, or as a striking standalone feature. It blooms abundantly from Djilba (Early Spring) to Kambarang (Late Spring), with sporadic flowering throughout the year, drawing in pollinators and adding a touch of elegance to your garden.
Native to Australia, this hardy plant thrives in Perth’s sunny climate and well-draining sandy or loamy soils. It is drought-tolerant once established but benefits from occasional watering during prolonged dry periods to maintain lush growth and support flowering. Light pruning after flowering encourages a neat shape and fresh blooms. Perfect for low-maintenance gardens, this shrub performs beautifully in full sun, whether planted in spacious garden beds or large outdoor pots.
