This big wide emu bush will flower through the summer (and sporadically at other times too) for effortless dsplays in your native garden. The attractive weeping, fountain habit deserves space to shine, and like other emu bushes it loves lots of sunshine.
It’s pale purple, not blue , which is a very pretty shade for pairing with our pink emu bush, and airy natives like waxflower, crowea, epacris, bauera, and boronia.
