Emu Bush

Eremophila nivea

Description

Meet our gorgeous silver-leafed shrub, perfect for dry areas! It blooms with stunning purple flowers in spring and summer, and will add a pop of colour to your garden. To keep it happy, make sure it gets good drainage - you can even mound the soil to improve things. Give it some sun and prune lightly after flowering to keep it looking its best. If you live in a humid area, don't worry! Grafted plants are a great option - they'll thrive in wetter conditions. Just be sure to feed it with a good native fertiliser to keep it healthy and strong.
