Description
Eremophila resinosa var. compacta "Westonia", commonly known as the Dwarf Resinous Eremophila, is a compact and hardy Australian native. This small native plant is ideal for Perth gardens, offering evergreen foliage and a neat, low-growing habit that works well in garden beds, rockeries, or even as a feature in smaller pots. During Djilba (Early Spring) and Kambarang (Late Spring), the plant is adorned with vibrant blooms, adding a splash of colour to the garden. Flowers may also appear sporadically year-round, attracting local wildlife such as bees and birds.
This drought-hardy species thrives in full sun and requires sandy, loamy, well-draining soil. Once established, it needs minimal watering but will benefit from additional water during prolonged dry periods. Light pruning after flowering will help maintain its compact shape and encourage new growth. This low-maintenance plant is perfect for creating a vibrant and resilient landscape in Perth's unique climate.
