Scaevola aemula is a spreading, prostrate, Australian native shrub that forms a dense mat-like cover of deep green foliage.
Lovely fan-shaped mauve-blue (occasionally white) flowers are produced throughout the year, however the main flush is usually from spring to summer.
This is a very hardy groundcover that will also attract nectar feeding birds.
There are many cultivars. The Fan Series is a group of four culitvars each a different colour.
Fandancer has mauve flowers,
White Fan has large white flowers,
Purple Fan has lavender blue flowers and
Sparkling Fan in pink mauve and even yellow varieties.
