Scaevola albida "Blue Ribbons"


"Fan Flower"

Scaevola "Blue Ribbon" is one of the many different forms of Scaevola albida, also known as the 'Fanflower' due to its fan shaped flowers. An extremely hardy, low growing groundcover (sometimes mounding on itself creating dome like shapes), will give you colour from September right through the summer months, and even into April/May. Prefers a well drained soil, and the more sun - the more flower! Prune after flowering for best growth in the cooler months.

Available now in flower in 140mm pots!
