Eremophila nivea Beryl’s Blue

Botanical Name: Eremophila nivea Beryl’s Blue

Common Name: Eremophila nivea

Average Height (cm): 100

Average Width (cm): 150

Description:

Usually sold as a grafted plant, this beautiful cultivar has silvery foliage in a compact shape with striking purple tubular flowers, providing a standout feature against the silver leaves. It is similar to Eremophila nivea ‘Blue Velvet’ although not as soft to touch, however the naturally more compact shape does make this a very desirable plant. It also flowers in larger clusters.

Garden Design Uses:

A stunning feature shrub that creates a beautiful contrast with other green foliage. It is beautiful both in flower and throughout the rest of the year. Can also be grown in a pot for a stunning moveable feature.

Care:

Thrives in well-drained soils in full sun. Requires minimal watering once established. Tip prune after flowering to maintain dense growth. It is mostly unbothered by pests but keep an eye out for scale insects during wet periods or if you have it in a crowded position in the garden. It is less prone to problems if you have it in a sunny spot with good air flow around it.
