Eremophila maculata, commonly known as Spotted Emu Bush, is a hardy drought-tolerant native shrub featuring distinctive spotted tubular flowers in various colors including red, orange, yellow, and pink. This resilient plant thrives in arid conditions and is perfect for low-maintenance Australian gardens, attracting native birds while requiring minimal water once established. Its compact to medium-sized growth habit makes it ideal for screening, feature plantings, or mixed native garden beds.
Eremophila maculata naturally occurs in arid and semi-arid regions across inland Australia, thriving in well-drained sandy or clay soils with excellent drought tolerance.
