Eremophila arguta is a small, rarely seen shrub from the figwort family, native to a small arid area of central Western Australia. It is known for being difficult to grow in gardens, so it needs well-drained soil and careful watering.
Eremophila arguta is a flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to a small area in the centre of Western Australia. It is a small, rarely seen shrub with long, arching branches and small, holly-like leaves, known from a few remote locations.
This eremophila is a spectacular shrub which has been difficult to cultivate in gardens. It prefers well-drained soils and needs to be watered occasionally during hot periods but is frost-tolerant. It can be grown from cuttings or seed or by grafting onto Myoporum.
This eremophila is only known from the Meekatharra, Upper Gascoyne and Wiluna local government areas in the Gascoyne and Murchison biogeographic regions. It grows on the edge of floodplains, in dry creek beds and on road verges.
