Eremophila miniata ‘Kopi Bush’ – Grafted Emu Bush (140mm Pot)

Eremophila miniata ‘Kopi Bush’ – Grafted Emu Bush (140mm Pot)

Eremophila miniata, commonly known as Kopi Bush, is a large Australian native shrub admired for its vivid tubular flowers. Blooming mainly in spring and often again after fresh growth, the long-lasting flowers provide brilliant colour and valuable nectar for birds and pollinators.

This plant is grafted onto a hardy rootstock, improving reliability and allowing successful growth in a wider range of garden soils. Grafting also overcomes the species’ naturally difficult propagation and enhances establishment and longevity in cultivation.

Naturally occurring in sandy soils near saline areas and drainage lines, Eremophila miniata is a tough inland species that tolerates frost, heat and exposed conditions. It performs best in full sun with good air movement, where it develops into a substantial flowering shrub.

Supplied in a 140mm pot, this grafted native is well established and ready to plant.
