Emu Bush
Eremophila Nivea
This is such a pretty evergreen, mound-shaped native shrub. Emu Bush has delicate silvery foliage and purple tubular flowers in Spring and Summer – so it’s flowering right now. It’s just as stunning without flowers and it’s a tactile, textural plant.
Definitely striking enough to be a feature plant in your garden because of its wow factor. It’s a good screening plant and will attract birds, butterflies and bees. This is a good plant for drier areas and won’t do well in very humid temperate zones. It needs a sunny spot and good drainage and loves to be pruned to thicken and strengthen it up and encourage flowering. Emu Bush can be grown successfully in a pot too.
