These plants are very drought hardy so I'd check the sub soil to see how wet it is. Also I've found they don't like phosphorus fertilsers either and are very sensitive to them. One way to counter high phosphorus fertlisers is to use a high nitrogen one such as Powerfeed but here are no guarantees if that's the problem.

Do you think that they may have had too much water?

I'd be interested to here how you go propagating the seed. You may get some interesting flower colours if they're cross pollinated with the other flower colours? Fair enough!

As far as the seedling/suckers go I was referring to the seedlings that had sprung up in your garden. Do you thing they may be seedlings or suckers?

Purple flowered have set seed but the white haven't. Strange. They’re just nursery bought plants.

Are they seedlings or do you think they may be suckers? I planted a plant about 1m from an Eremophila once and cut through some of the Eremophilas roots in the process. A few months later I had a small Eremophila emerged on the other side of the new plant I'd just planted. The funny thing about the sucker was the leaves were slightly different to the suspected parent Eremophila so I'm waiting for the sucker to flower to confirm if it's a sucker or seedling. My bet is it's a sucker though because Eremophilas don't easily self seed. If you're Alyogynes turn out to seedlings then you may have some interesting flower colours if they're growing close to your cream ones.

I've got a purple flowering one that does but 2 yellow/white that don't. Have you noticed if all the different types self-seed?
