Eremophila maculata ‘Allara’ is a hardy, small shrub selected for its soft grey-green foliage and striking yellow tubular flowers, which bloom mainly from late winter through spring.

The pale yellow blooms are highly attractive to nectar-feeding birds and insects, while the plant’s compact form suits a wide range of settings — from home gardens to large-scale revegetation projects. ‘Allara’ performs best in full sun and well-drained soils and is tolerant of drought, frost, and coastal exposure.
