About

Eremophila enata is a flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to central areas of Western Australia. It is a low, spreading shrub with serrated leaves and purplish to pinkish flowers.

How to grow it

This eremophila bears masses of flowers, often after rain following a long dry spell. Its attractive flowers suit it to most gardens. It can be propagated from cuttings and is best grown in well-drained soil in full sun. It tolerates drought and moderate frost, with any damage soon replaced by new growth.

Where it grows

Eremophila enata occurs near Wiluna and Windidda in the Gascoyne, Murchison and Pilbara biogeographic regions. It grows in clay soils usually in mulga woodland.
