Scaevola Purple Fanfare Live Plants | Pack of 2 | 5-9" Tall | Fan Flower

What You Will Receive: You will receive a Pack of 2 healthy, well-rooted Scaevola 'Purple Fanfare' starter plants, each currently 5-9 inches tall. Shipped bare-root to ensure safe transit, these vigorous starts are ready to establish quickly, filling out your containers with trailing color much faster than seed-grown alternatives.

The "Self-Cleaning" Miracle: Say goodbye to sticky deadheading. Unlike petunias that require constant picking to look good, Scaevola is "self-cleaning." The spent purple flowers drop off cleanly on their own, disappearing into the foliage to make room for fresh blooms. Your baskets stay pristine and colorful all season with zero effort.

The Ultimate "Spiller": Create professional-grade hanging baskets effortlessly. 'Purple Fanfare' is renowned for its vigorous trailing habit. It spills gracefully over the edges of pots, window boxes, and retaining walls, creating a cascading waterfall of violet-blue flowers that can reach up to 2 feet long.

Thrives in Blazing Heat: Stop replacing plants that fry in August. Native to the Australian outback, the Fan Flower loves the heat. It thrives in scorching sun and high temperatures that cause other annuals to wilt, ensuring your patio remains vibrant during the "dog days" of summer.

Whimsical Fan-Shaped Blooms: Add a unique texture to your garden. Each flower features five petals arranged in a perfect fan shape, looking like tiny purple hands waving in the breeze. The dense, semi-succulent foliage provides a lush green backdrop that resists wilting.

Care Instructions: Upon arrival, unwrap gently and soak roots in water for 15 minutes. Plant in well-draining potting mix in a container or bed receiving Full Sun (6+ hours). Water regularly to establish; once mature, it is surprisingly drought tolerant.

Safe Arrival Guarantee: We ship using eco-friendly, secure packaging designed to protect the roots and retain moisture. While some minor leaf wilt is normal due to shipping stress, we guarantee your plants arrive with healthy, viable root systems ready to hydrate and grow rapidly.

The "Set It and Forget It" Star of the Summer Garden

If you love the look of lush hanging baskets but hate the daily chore of picking off dead flowers, meet your new best friend: Scaevola 'Purple Fanfare'. Also known as the Fairy Fan Flower, this Australian native is the secret weapon of landscape designers. It delivers maximum visual impact with virtually minimum maintenance. Our 2-Pack of vigorous starter plants allows you to create cascading displays of violet-blue that last from spring until the first frost.

No Deadheading Required The standout feature of Scaevola is that it is self-cleaning. While other trailing plants turn into a brown, sticky mess if you miss a weekend of pruning, 'Purple Fanfare' stays fresh. Old blooms simply vanish, and new buds take their place instantly. It creates a continuous carpet of color that looks manicured without you lifting a finger.

Built for the Heat When the mid-summer heat hits and your other plants start to look tired, Scaevola hits its stride. It was born in the heat. Whether you place it in a hanging basket on a baking hot patio or in a window box that gets afternoon sun, it thrives.

Versatile Beauty

In Containers: Use it as the "Spiller" component in your designs. Pair it with an upright Geranium or Salvia, and let the Scaevola trail over the edge.

In the Ground: In warmer climates, it acts as a weed-suppressing groundcover.
