This is possibly the toughest, most useful Australian landscape flower in existence.
A big claim, but Pink Fusion™ Scaevola comes with truly remarkable characteristics.
The very first plant, installed in a harsh, poor, heavy roadside soil, still looks great 11 years later with practically no maintenance. It has flowered more than 70% of the time.
Pink Fusion™ Scaevola not only handles drought well; more recent plantings also coped well in the extreme wet of the east coast.
This type is largely different from the regular Scaevola, as it was bred from a species that grows in harsher Australian climates. It is more compact and tighter, meaning it requires far less pruning.
Pink Fusion™ Scaevola is not only tough; it is also gorgeous. The compact green foliage is covered in beautiful pink fan flowers for most of the year.
Long-lived landscape plant with majestic pink flowers.
