Scaevola aemula Blue

Common Name: Blue Fan Flower

Description:
Scaevola aemula 'Blue' is a hardy, fast-growing Australian native plant known for its stunning blue, fan-shaped flowers that bloom prolifically from spring through autumn. With a naturally trailing and spreading habit, it makes an excellent ground cover or cascading plant for hanging baskets, pots, and garden beds. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, this drought-tolerant plant prefers well-drained soil and full sun but can tolerate part shade. It is highly resistant to pests and diseases, making it a low-maintenance choice for gardeners. 'Blue Fan Flower' attracts bees and butterflies, adding to the biodiversity of any outdoor space. Regular pruning encourages denser growth and continuous flowering.
