Eremophila ‘Summertime Blue’™ is an Australian-native evergreen shrub featuring a spreading habit with slightly weeping and arching branches, fine, silvery-green foliage and lilac-blue tubular blooms. Uses include mass plantings, screens, borders, and xeric gardens. Excellent in desert conditions. Low to very low water use; needs deep, infrequent watering. It thrives in well-drained soil but adaptable to heavy, alkaline clay soils. Best in full sun and reflected heat, but tolerates very light shade. It requires full sun for best blooms and to maintain a dense shape. Moderately salt tolerant. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Verticillium wilt-resistant. Cold hardy to 20°F.
