Why It’s a Great Idea to Plant in Winter
Eremophila glabra ‘Silver Ball’ is a hardy, compact native shrub prized for its stunning silver foliage and vibrant flower display. This low-maintenance evergreen is perfect for modern gardens, native landscapes, and coastal plantings, offering year-round structure and seasonal bursts of colour.
Produces masses of bright orange to red tubular flowers mainly from spring through summer, with spot flowering at other times. The nectar-rich blooms attract bees, butterflies, and nectar-feeding birds.
Features striking silvery-grey foliage with a soft, velvety texture, creating an elegant contrast against the vivid flowers.
Occasionally forms small, woody seed capsules, though these are not considered ornamental.
A neat, rounded shrub typically growing to around 50 cm high and 1 m wide.
