Fan Flower
Scaevola aemula
Scaevola Fan Flower is a spreading, prostrate, Australian native shrub that forms a dense, mat-like ground cover. It has semi-succulent, bright green leaves that are wavy edged and slightly hairy, and lovely fan-shaped flowers of mauve or white that are produced throughout the year in great profusion. This long lived and very hardy ground cover attracts nectar feeding birds and insects. For best results plant in a sunny location but also does well in semi-shade.
