Culture
Fan Flower ‘Pearl’, also known simply as Scaevola, is a warm-weather perennial or small shrub that is often grown as an annual flower. It is an excellent plant for any region with warm summers. Scaevola is a sprawling plant with oval or lance-shaped leaves and, given a hot humid climate, it will produce a nearly non-stop display of dark blue fan-shaped flowers from early summer right up to frost. Scaevola® plants fill a niche for gardeners seeking a heat-tolerant plant for their summer containers: its thick stems ensure drought tolerance in full sun locations, even in triple-digit temperatures..
