Scaevola albida

Location

A variable species which grows from south-eastern Queensland through eastern New South Wales and coastal areas of Victoria and Tasmania in a range of habitats.

This particular form is native to the Mount Annan site and grows well on our clay soil. You can see it planted in the Connections Garden and in the Woodland Picnic Area.


 

 It adapts well to cultivation in a range of well-drained soils, does best in sunny or semi-shaded sites and is frost hardy. A good choice for rockeries, containers and path-side plantings as it softly cascades and sprawls, the flowers can be white, mauve, pale blue or pink and flower for many months of the year.

There are a number of forms and cultivars available at good nurseries.
