Stardiva® White Fan Flower (Scaevola aemula) shines with star-shaped white blooms that appear continuously from spring until frost. Each bloom displays a subtle yellow center and creates a striking contrast against the plant’s bright green foliage. This charming annual reaches about 4 to 8 inches tall, forming a neat, trailing mound perfect for patio pots or flowerbed edges. Its compact habit and long-lasting display make it an ideal choice for low-maintenance color.This Australian native endures high heat, strong sun, and even short periods of drought without losing its cheerful appearance. No deadheading is necessary, thanks to self-cleaning flowers that maintain a fresh look throughout the season. Plant it near the front of borders, in containers, or as an accent in mixed plantings to highlight its pristine white hue. Pollinating bees often frequent the blooms, adding beneficial movement and life to your garden.Stardiva® White Fan Flower CareUse a well-draining, moderately fertile soil in a location that offers at least six hours of direct sun per day. Water regularly once established, but avoid overwatering to prevent soggy conditions. A balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting and again in midsummer supports consistent growth and bloom production. Overall, this scaevola tolerates average garden conditions and needs minimal intervention.Remove dead foliage promptly to preserve a clean, vigorous appearance. Prune away any damaged or overly long stems if they disrupt the plant’s shape, though heavy trimming is seldom required.
