Eremophila rugosa is a flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. It is an erect shrub with sticky, shiny leaves and pink, purple or mauve flowers.
This very hardy shrub has a massed display of pink, blue or purple flowers from late winter to spring but requires very little maintenance. It can be propagated from cuttings and grown in a wide range of soils including alkaline soil and heavy clay. It grows well in full sun or part shade, is drought tolerant and recovers quickly from damage caused by severe frost.
This eremophila grows in loamy soils in Eucalyptus woodland on undulating plains between Norseman and Coolgardie in the Coolgardie and Murchison biogeographic regions.
