Description
Eremophila glabra 'Silver Ball' is a compact native shrub that brings year-round charm to Perth gardens. This hardy plant features striking lime green-yellow flowers that bloom abundantly from early to late spring (Djilba to Kambarang), with sporadic flowering throughout the year. Its silvery-grey foliage creates a beautiful contrast, making it an excellent addition to water-wise landscapes, rockeries, or as a feature plant in pots and garden beds.
Thriving in full sun, 'Silver Ball' prefers sandy, loamy, well-draining soils and requires minimal maintenance once established. It is highly drought-hardy but benefits from additional watering during extended heatwaves. Light pruning after flowering helps to maintain its neat, rounded shape and encourages fresh growth. This versatile shrub is perfect for small native gardens or as part of a mixed border.
