Scaevola aemula White

Common Name: White Fan Flower

Description:
Scaevola aemula 'White' is a hardy, fast-growing Australian native plant known for its delicate white, fan-shaped flowers that bloom abundantly from spring through autumn. With a naturally trailing and spreading habit, it is perfect for ground cover, hanging baskets, pots, and garden borders. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, it prefers well-drained soil and full sun but can tolerate part shade. This drought-tolerant and low-maintenance plant is highly resistant to pests and diseases, making it an excellent choice for easy-care gardens. Its nectar-rich blooms attract bees and butterflies, supporting local pollinators. Regular pruning will encourage denser growth and extended flowering.
