Eremophila caespitosa, felty-leaved eremophila, is a small, compact, tufted shrub from central Western Australia with grey hairy leaves and lilac to purple flowers. It thrives in full sun and very well-drained soil and is drought tolerant, but it is damaged by frost.
Eremophila caespitosa, commonly known as felty-leaved eremophila, is a flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to an area near the centre of Western Australia. It is a small shrub with a tuft-like habit, very hairy grey leaves and lilac to purple flowers.
Felty-leaved eremophila is an ideal small shrub for a container or rockery with its silvery foliage and lilac-coloured flowers. It can be propagated from cuttings or grafted onto Myoporum species. Full sun and well-drained soils are preferred and the plant is drought resistant but is killed by frost.
This eremophila occurs between Mount Augustus, Newman and Wiluna in the Gascoyne, Murchison and Pilbara biogeographic regions where it grows on stony flats.
