Eremophila alatisepala is a sticky, rounded shrub from south-west Queensland that grows to about 2 m with cream and pink bell-shaped flowers. It needs full sun, well-drained soil and little water.
Eremophila alatisepala is a plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Queensland in Australia. It is a very sticky shrub covered with many glandular hairs which produce a resin that often obscures the hairs that produce it. The plant is usually found in stony places on ridges and slopes in the Queensland Channel Country.
This eremophila is an attractive shrub with its creamy pink flowers contrasting with the shiny, dark green leaves. It can be propagated from cuttings, although they take a few months to form roots and it can be grafted onto Myoporum. It grows best in full sun in a well-drained soil and is drought tolerant but susceptible to frosts.
This eremophila is only found in south-west Queensland where it grows in hard stony ground, often with Senna and Triodia species.
