Summertime Blue Emu Bush
SUMMERTIME BLUE EMU BUSH
Eremophila x 'Summertime Blue' (polyclada)

Although all Eremophila species are native to Australia, many of them perform excellently in the desert southwest United States. This unique hybrid shrub definitely is free spirited and performs best in a large planter space where it can grow. Like other Emu Bush varieties, Summertime Blue Emu Bush attracts hummingbirds.
