Plant description
Scaevola 'Fandango Erect Early Blue' is a well shaped mounding perennial with masses of mauve blue flowers from spring to summer and on through autumn. The growth is upright, which shows off the flowers, while the plant grows dense to the ground. Likes part shade to full sun, with a good open soil. Keep the soil moist but not wet while establishing. Fertilise in spring, and trim lightly at the same time if needed. A good for adding colour to the garden, performs brilliantly in pots and hanging baskets.
