Description
Eremophila glabra 'Roseworthy' is a hardy groundcover native to Western Australia, perfectly suited to Perth gardens. This evergreen plant features vibrant orange-red tubular flowers, blooming prominently during early to late spring (Djilba to Kambarang) and sporadically throughout the year. Its dense, low-growing foliage provides excellent coverage, making it an ideal choice for rockeries, embankments, and as a living mulch in water-wise gardens.
Best grown in full sun, 'Roseworthy' thrives in sandy or loamy soils with good drainage. It is drought-hardy once established but will benefit from supplemental watering during extreme heat. This low-maintenance plant can tolerate light pruning after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage fresh growth. It is highly adaptable to coastal conditions, making it a resilient addition to outdoor landscapes.
