Eremophila Thriver™ 180MM

Eremophila spp 'EREM01' 'Thriver™'

I am Eremophila Thriver™. My family originated from Australia.

Habit Shrub - I am hardy
Plant family Scrophulariaceae
I am an Australian native evergreen shrub that produces vibrant dark fuchsia flowers year-round, especially in spring and early autumn. My flowers will attract nectar-feeding birds and insects to your garden. I am ideal for use as an informal hedge, feature shrub, in border plantings, Australian-themed landscapes, windbreaks, on slopes, and in raised gardens. I am a hardy fast-growing plant that can thrive in diverse conditions, from Sydney's humidity to Melbourne's frost, making me an ideal choice for both beauty and durability. I thrive in a full sun to part shade position and tolerate a range of soils, including clay, loam and sand. To keep me looking good, prune me lightly after flowering in spring and again in early autumn. For a natural appearance, prune me every few years. To boost my growth, apply a slow-release fertiliser.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
I produce vibrant dark fuchsia flowers for much of the year
I am hardy, drought-tolerant & resilient in varied climates
I am dense making me perfect as an informal hedge or feature shrub
