Growing Tips

Plant in a semi-shaded to fully shaded position, ideally under deciduous trees or shrubs. Hellebores perform best in well-drained, fertile soil enriched with organic matter.

Remove old foliage in autumn to showcase flowers and improve airflow. Feed at the same time to support strong flowering, and mulch in spring to retain moisture.

Once established, hellebores are relatively drought tolerant and low maintenance.

Eremophila waitii ‘Silky Lavender’ is a distinctive Australian native shrub discovered by eremophila authority Russell Wait, admired for its striking silvery-grey foliage, dense clusters of deep lilac flowers, and unique silky bud texture. Flowering mainly in spring, the vivid blooms are tightly packed along the branch tips, creating a dramatic seasonal display.

This plant is grafted onto a hardy rootstock, improving reliability and allowing successful growth in a wider range of soils, including heavier clay soils common in many gardens. The grafted root system provides stronger establishment and long-term performance compared with non-grafted eremophilas.

Naturally occurring on clay slopes in mallee woodland, Eremophila waitii is well suited to dry, sunny Australian gardens, where its silver foliage provides year-round contrast and its flowers attract pollinators and birds.

Supplied in a 140mm pot, this recently introduced and collector-significant native makes an exceptional feature shrub or native garden highlight.
