Eremophila nivea
It's important to me that any natives I bring in to the garden are local to this location - but I had to bend my personal rules for Eremophila nivea, endemic to a small area over in the west of the country.
What's not to love about this beautiful Australian native? The foliage is silvery and incredibly soft, silky and tactile, the flowers so very pretty. And loved by insects. Unfortunately, listed as endangered in its natural habitat.
Eremophila is a large genus of 214 species, all endemic to Australia. This species grows to around 1.5 m in height.
''Eremophila nivea'', commonly known as silky eremophila, is a flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. In nature it is a rare shrub with hairy branches and leaves, and blue, purple or violet flowers.

Looks like we have some way to go with only 3 in the genus documented so far :) Posted 4 years ago
