About

Eremophila succinea is a flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. It is an erect, broom-shaped shrub with sticky, narrow, hooked leaves, narrow, sticky sepals and hairy, pale purple or mauve petals.

How to grow it

This erect, broom-shaped, wispy shrub is ideal for filling narrow spots in the garden. It is a hardy shrub often bearing masses of attractive blue flowers. Propagation from cuttings is difficult but it is relatively easy to graft onto Myoporum rootstock. Well-drained soil in full sun or part shade is preferred but mature shrubs are very drought and frost tolerant.

Where it grows

Eremophila succinea grows in sandy clay soil in scattered locations between Norseman, Peak Charles and Lake King in the Coolgardie and Mallee biogeographic regions.
