Scaevola aemula ‘Fairy White’, commonly known as Fan Flower, is a compact, trailing Australian native renowned for its abundance of delicate white fan-shaped flowers. Blooming continuously from late spring through autumn, it creates a graceful cascade of colour that attracts bees and butterflies while adding softness to garden beds, hanging baskets, window boxes, and containers.
Its naturally free-branching, spreading habit makes ‘Fairy White’ an excellent choice for spilling over the edges of pots or forming a colourful, low-maintenance groundcover. Heat and drought-tolerant once established, it thrives in sunny positions with well-drained soil and requires minimal care, making it ideal for Australian gardens and landscapes.
