Plant Features

Suntastic Scaevola is the very first yellow cultivar of this increasingly popular flowering plant. With dark green, serrated foliage as a back drop, the pale, creamy yellow and white blossoms with deep lemony throats really stand out. When first emerging, the white of the blooms is almost a light lime color, adding additional interest to this first ever yellow variety of fan flower. Scaevola is heat-loving and remarkably disease and pest free. Use it in single or mixed plantings in window boxes or in hanging pots, or grow it around your patio to add sunny yellow to your favorite seating area!
