Scaevola Blue Ice

Common Name:
Scaevola 'Blue Ice'

Description:
Scaevola 'Blue Ice' is a hardy, trailing Australian native ground cover known for its stunning fan-shaped pale blue to icy violet flowers and compact, spreading growth habit. Flowering prolifically from spring through autumn, this variety is perfect for brightening garden beds, rockeries, hanging baskets, and containers. The flowers contrast beautifully against the lush green foliage, providing soft, cooling tones in the garden. 'Blue Ice' is exceptionally heat and drought tolerant once established, making it well-suited to Melbourne’s climate and a great option for low-maintenance landscaping. It thrives in full sun and prefers free-draining soil. Regular trimming after flowering can help maintain its tidy form and encourage fresh growth and repeat blooming. Scaevola is also highly attractive to pollinators, particularly native bees.
