Eremophila praecox is a small, broom-shaped Australian desert shrub with tiny linear leaves and purple and white tubular flowers. It is grown for its hardiness and drought tolerance, and is best kept in free-draining soil with full sun.
Eremophila praecox is a species of flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to Australia. It is a small, broom-like shrub with small leaves and purple and white flowers.
This eremophila is a dainty shrub with delicate blue to purple flowers. It can be propagated from cuttings or by grafting onto Myoporum rootstock and grown in a wide range of soil types, including clay. A hardy shrub, it is both frost and drought tolerant, requiring only the occasional watering during a long drought.
Eremophila praecox occurs near Widgiemooltha, Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie in the Coolgardie biogeographic regions of Western Australia and as scattered individuals in the western part of the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. It grows in red-brown sandy loam with other eremophila species.
