Eremophila nivea

Description

A beautiful white leaved shrub to approximately 4' with purple flowers, rare in its habitat. There is one small area, the Three Springs area in Western Australia, where they grow naturally. R.J. Chinnock says it probably regenerates readily after fire. Grows best in full sun. Able to tolerate strong winds. Pruning will keep the plant more compact. Very attractive garden specimen or container plant. Attracts birds, bees and insects to the garden.
