Scaevola Touch Blue 140MM

Scaevola aemula 'Touch Blue'

I am Scaevola Touch Blue. My family originated from Eastern Australia.

Habit Shrub

Plant family Goodeniaceae

My prolific one sided fan shaped blooms are tinged purple at the petal edges graduating to white at the centre. My blooms are in beautiful contrast against my dense dark green foliage. I flower year round, more prolifically in spring and summer. My blooms attract bees and other beneficial insects. I have a low rounded form and a spreading habit. I am fast growing Australian native and an ideal choice for container planting, borders or as a ground cover. My dense habit means I outcompete many weeds.

I am popular and will make you happy because...
