Scaevola, also known as fan flower (which was news to me until I just researched it seconds ago), is my preferred annual for the front of a border (as seen in my Daily Garden Photo below) or as a spiller in a container.
I purchase Scaevola small in spring and in no time, they spread and fill a sizable open space. This includes pouring over on to my driveway where it softens the pavement and can withstand a trouncing from a basketball or a temporary flattening from a bike tire.
It isn’t deer resistant, but I plant it strategically where the deer don’t like to roam, like along my driveway.
What has your experience been?
Nice, but I have deer
I like the way Scaevola spreads out and dresses itself as a ground-cover in among
my other plants. It is a nice addition- have had no problems!
I’ve not used it before. It definitely livens and brings balance to the garden. I’ll have to look into it. Thanks for this share!
