Eremophila Maculata Red

Minimum order quantity for this plant in 14cm pots is 3 units

Eremophila maculata Red is a striking Australian native shrub admired for its vivid red, tubular flowers that bloom from autumn through spring. The flowers are nectar-rich, attracting birds and beneficial pollinators, while its fine, green foliage provides year-round texture. Typically growing 1 to 2 metres high and wide, it has a tidy, rounded form that suits native gardens, low-maintenance landscapes, and wildlife-friendly plantings. Its colourful blooms add brightness during the cooler months when few other plants are flowering.

This hardy shrub thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, tolerating drought, light frost, and heat once established. It’s suitable for a wide range of Australian climates, including Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, and Brisbane, especially in areas with low humidity. Minimal watering is needed after establishment, and it responds well to a light prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage denser growth. Avoid overly rich soils or heavy watering, which can reduce its lifespan.

Eremophila maculata Red pairs beautifully with other low-water, sun-loving natives such as Westringia ‘Mundi’, Myoporum parvifolium, and Lomandra ‘Tanika’. It also contrasts well with grey-toned foliage plants like Eucalyptus ‘Silver Princess’ or the silvery Adenanthos ‘Silver Streak’. These companions enhance the landscape’s visual diversity while supporting pollinators and native birds, creating a harmonious and resilient garden.
