Eremophilia nivea ‘Blue Velvet’ grafted – 20cm pot
Eremophila Nivea Blue Velvet is a striking, evergreen, medium shrub with soft, wool-like, grey-white foliage. An abundance of blue flowers emerges in Spring through to Autumn. Best used in native gardens, Waterwise gardens and general landscaping. This plant has been grafted, therefore it is important to remove any growth that may appear under the graft-point. If shoots are left they will eventually grow, dominating the graft stock. Eremophila Nivea has low water requirements once established in the garden, an occasional watering during extended periods of heat will benefit the plant.

Planting Tips:
Australian Natives do not require too much work to get them settled in the garden. By applying an Australian Native fertiliser in their prime growing seasons, Spring and early Autumn, will give plants a boost and keep them healthy. Make sure to use the right food, almost all natives dislike soils and fertilisers with high phosphorus levels, fertilisers with a phosphorus (P) level of 3% or less is ideal. Only use fertilisers especially made for these plants, look for a feed which reads “Australian Native Fertiliser”.
When planting into a pot make sure that the container chosen is large enough for the plant selected. Never pot a plant into a container which is too small. Always use a premium quality Australian Native Potting Mix as this has the correct balance of wetting agents and nutrients required for having a healthy plant.
