This week on The Horti-Culturalists we visit the wonderful Melton Botanic Gardens to look at a lesser known group of Australian plants, the Eremophilas. These amazing dry climate flowering shrubs show huge diversity of flower, foliage and form, from dense mat forming ground covers to very large shrubs, from large silver foliage to tiny bronze leaves and flowers in an extraordinary array of colours. We'll meet specialists Barb and David Pye and learn some of the secrets of propagation...and just why an emu might come in handy!
