Culture

Fan Flower ‘Pearl White’, 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 white 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..

Noteworthy Characteristics

Fan Flower ‘Pearl White’ is a low-maintenance performer that adds a touch of beauty to your garden or containers. Whether you choose the classic blue or explore the white and pink varieties, these fan-shaped blooms are sure to delight!  It features spoon-shaped, toothed, dark green leaves and fan-shaped, pearl white flowers that bloom from summer right into fall.  Scaevola® doesn’t require much pinching or fertilizing. It’s generally low maintenance as long as it receives warmth, sunshine, and occasional watering. It’s an important nectar source for butterflies.

Problems

 Scaevola is generally tough and resilient, with few serious issues.

Garden Uses

Fan Flower ‘Pearl’ works well as bedding plants or planted along retaining walls, where they can cascade over the edge.  Also good in containers and hanging baskets.  Note: Patented Plant PP#19729: Propagation Restrictions Apply
