Scaevola, commonly known as the fan flower, is a semi-trailing or cascading plant native to Australia. It is characterized by its unique five-lobed flowers that appear to be cut in half, creating a distinctive fan-like shape. The foliage consists of succulent, bright green, toothed leaves that provide a lush backdrop for blue, pink, or white blooms. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, it is exceptionally heat and drought tolerant. It is widely used in hanging baskets and as a groundcover.
