Grower Information

Soon to be a fan favorite in patio pots! Compact scaevola uses fewer PGRS, roots well and flowers early. Excellent branching and flower coverage with fan-like blooms. Fills in mono containers better than competing scaevola. Won’t tangle on benches and takes up less space for faster turns.
