Eremophila paisleyi is a plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to Australia. It is a rounded, broom-shaped shrub with white or lilac-coloured flowers which occurs in Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory.
Although not well known in gardens, this eremophila has horticultural potential because of its ability to produce masses of white, pale pink or lilac-coloured flowers over a long period and because of its hardiness. It has been grown in eastern Australia and some shrubs have been grown for more than 20 years. E. paisleyi is suitable for use as a screening plant or windbreak, is easily grown from cuttings and grows well in a range of soils in full sun or partial shade. It is both drought and frost tolerant and can be lightly pruned to keep it compact.
Subspecies paisleyi occurs between the Gairdner-Torrens botanical regions of South Australia and the Great Victoria Desert, Murchison and Nullarbor biogeographic regions, mainly east of Laverton. It grows in red sand or calcareous loam. Subspecies glandulosa is restricted to the north-west of South Australia and southern Northern Territory where it grows in skeletal soils on rocky hillsides.
