Eremophila complanata is an erect, wispy shrub from south-west Western Australia, grown for its glossy leaves and spring display of pink flowers. It needs a sunny or semi-shaded spot, good drainage and very little water once established.
Eremophila complanata is a flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to a small area in the south west of Western Australia. It is an erect shrub with narrow, flattened leaves and hairy pink flowers which are also distinctly flattened.
This eremophila is an attractive addition to gardens because of its glossy leaves and massed display of bright pink flowers in spring. It is easy to propagate from firm tip cuttings taken from December to March and grows in a range of soils in a sunny or semi-shaded position. It is drought tolerant and mostly frost resistant but can be damaged by strong winds, suggesting that it should be planted amongst other shrubs.
This eremophila occurs in the Chiddarcooping Nature Reserve in the Avon Wheatbelt biogeographic region where it grows in sandy soil near granite boulders.
