Description
Eremophila nivea 'Spring Mist' is a captivating native shrub, well-loved for its fine silvery foliage and elegant mauve flowers. A Western Australian treasure, this medium-sized native is perfect for adding soft, silvery hues to garden beds or large pots. The combination of its velvety leaves and delicate blossoms makes it a standout in any landscape.
Thriving in Perth’s sunny conditions, this drought-hardy shrub prefers sandy, loamy, well-draining soil in full sun. While resilient once established, occasional deep watering during extended heatwaves will enhance its health and flowering. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain a tidy shape and encourages new growth, keeping this plant looking its best year-round.
