Scaevola ‘Fantastic Blue’

Common Name:
Fantastic Blue Scaevola

Description:
Scaevola ‘Fantastic Blue’ is a vigorous, spreading ground cover renowned for its vibrant fan-shaped blue flowers and outstanding heat and drought tolerance. Native to Australia and widely celebrated for its resilience, this cultivar is ideal for trailing over retaining walls, spilling from hanging baskets, or carpeting garden beds with rich colour throughout the warmer months. Flowering prolifically from spring to autumn in Melbourne, ‘Fantastic Blue’ displays masses of bright, sky-to-violet-blue blooms contrasted by lush green foliage. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, performing reliably even in coastal conditions and periods of dry weather. Its naturally compact, trailing habit requires little maintenance beyond a light trim to keep it neat and encourage further flowering. A magnet for bees and butterflies, Scaevola ‘Fantastic Blue’ is an easy-care, high-impact choice for water-wise gardens and low-maintenance plantings.
