Eremophila citrina is a dense, rounded desert shrub from central Western Australia, about 1 m tall, with lemon-yellow new growth and lilac flowers. It needs sun, very well-drained soil and protection from frost.
Eremophila citrina is a flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to the centre of Western Australia. It is a dense, rounded shrub with yellow new growth, crowded leaves and lilac-coloured to light purple flowers.
This eremophila is not widely known in horticulture although it is growing well on a property in western Victoria. Its golden new growth and purple or lilac flowers are attractive features. Plants have been grown by grafting onto Myoporum. It grows best in well-drained soil in a sunny location but is sensitive to frost.
Eremophila citrina occurs in a broad band between Newman and Laverton where it grows in stony soil derived from laterite.
