Description
Eremophila nivea x glabra ssp. Juana 'Pink Pantha' is a beautiful and resilient Australian native shrub. This medium-sized plant boasts deep pink flowers that contrast strikingly with its soft, silvery foliage, creating a vibrant and textured addition to any garden. Native to Western Australia, it is well-suited for use in garden beds or as a feature plant in larger pots. The flowers, which bloom profusely during Djilba (Early Spring) to Kambarang (Late Spring), may continue sporadically throughout the year, attracting pollinators such as bees and birds.
This hardy shrub thrives in full sun and requires sandy, loamy, well-draining soil. Drought-hardy once established, it benefits from occasional deep watering during prolonged heatwaves. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. 'Pink Pantha' is a low-maintenance choice, ideal for Perth's climate, providing year-round interest with its stunning foliage and colourful blooms.
