Our range of Eremophilas, drought-resistant ornamental bushes that work wonders in dry and sunny gardens. Among the must-haves, the Eremophila nivea, or silky eremophila, charms with its almost white, downy foliage and delicate, luminous mauve flowers. The Eremophila 'Beryl's Blue' forms a bright and dense ball with its snowy foliage and small lavender bell-shaped flowers—a beautiful variety for Mediterranean beds! More understated, the Eremophila maculata 'Aurea' delights with its pale yellow tubular flowers and compact habit.
Native to Australia, eremophilas are adapted to warm and dry climates but are not frost-hardy. These small evergreen bushes require very well-drained soil and tolerate drought perfectly once established. Plant them in full sun in sandy or stony soil for optimal growth. Perfect by the seaside, they also make lovely terrace plants. Growing them in pots allows for overwintering, just like citrus trees.
