Summertime Blue Eremophila |
Description
Bright blue tubular flowers are heavy in early spring on this selection but will also occur until frost. Leaves are evergreen, narrow, and needle-like. Habit is rather sprawly so care with pruning needs to be taken. Flowers occur on new wood. Frost resistant and drought tolerant even in the low desert.

Water Saving Tip:
Even during our hottest months we don't need to water daily.
Give your plants a chance to breathe.
Water late at night or in the early morning hours to avoid losses to wind and evaporation.
