This dense shrub up to 2.5m requires excellent drainage and air flow. Flowers are borne singly and are red to purple, pink or white in colour. Flowers are spotted with cream or yellow and are produced from winter to late spring or early summer. Eremophila maculata grows to about 2.5m high and 2m wide. Many Eremophilas come from areas in Australia with less than 150mm annual rain. In most areas they should be established and never hand watered again.
