Scaevola aemula 'Purple Fanfare'

Botanical Name: Scaevola  aemula ‘Purple Fanfare’

Family: Goodeniaceae

Location

We use this plant in our annual and perennial displays around the base of the Connections Garden, in the Visitor Centre Carpark and around Lakeside.

A spreading, sprawling groundcover with purple fan-shaped flowers which bloom for most of the year. Relatively short-lived, it only lasts for 18 months to 2 years but it is such a spectacular plant that it’s worth the effort. It's ideal in mass plantings and also grows well in hanging baskets or containers. Plant in moderately fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil.
