Scaevola Blue Wonder Fan Flower

While the mature height is listed at 4 inches, the plant's trailing habit means it will spread outward significantly. Expect it to act more like a cascading groundcover or a spiller in containers rather than a tall, upright plant.

It performs best in full sun, which helps maximize its bloom production. However, it is adaptable and will still grow well in partial shade, though you may see slightly fewer flowers.

Yes, it is considered deer-resistant, making it a reliable choice for gardens where wildlife pressure is a concern. While no plant is entirely deer-proof, this variety is generally ignored by deer in favor of tastier options.

While the plant is relatively low-maintenance, occasional deadheading helps redirect energy back into new blooms. Removing spent flowers every few weeks will keep the plant looking tidy and encourage a more vigorous display through late summer.

It works beautifully in both. In the ground, it serves as an excellent, fast-growing groundcover, while its trailing habit makes it a classic choice for softening the edges of hanging baskets and raised planters.

Once the root system is well-established, it is quite waterwise and handles dry spells better than many other flowering perennials. However, for the best performance and continuous blooming, it still appreciates consistent moisture during the hottest parts of the summer.
