strangebrew Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Wow interesting, I really like Eremophila's. Generally need to keep them trimmed to form a good shape though.Definately a aussie garden plant of the future, nurseries are starting to sell a lot. Now's a good time to take cuttings too.

TheFriendlyPlanter Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 They are great plants, mine have taken some really harsh conditions over the last few years with ease (drought and frost). Birds love them too, full of nectar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
