With exceptionally refined, dark green foliage and whorls of dainty, pink blooms this top performer is an excellent choice for your containers and landscape. It has small, serrated, oval leaves with a somewhat fine texture. The fan-shaped flowers, colored a shade of mid-pink, continue to bloom from planting to frost. The plant grows 8-14 inches high with a trailing habit that works well in hanging baskets. Whirlwind® Pink Fan Flower Scaevola aemula has won numerous awards.
The many attributes of this plant include being drought, heat, and pest resistant. It is a good choice for a low-water garden or for a xeriscape. Like other plants that are native to Australia, it is very tough. Bees and butterflies love it. In addition to hanging baskets, use this spiller in the landscape, for example, as an edging plant or as a groundcover. It is excellent in window boxes and combination planters.
Whirlwind® Pink Fan Flower Care
At planting, apply fertilizer or compost on beds and regularly fertilize plants in pots to promote flowering. Do not use a fertilizer with too high of a phosphorus level. Deadheading is not needed; however, you can pinch back stems if it becomes leggy. This plant is very adaptable to both dry and moist conditions, but it hates standing water. Keep the soil evenly moist, not wet. Allow containers to dry out slightly before watering to prevent root rot. It is best grown in full sun to partial shade.
You can overwinter fan flowers inside if desired. Pot it up and move it indoors to a sunny, south-facing room with temperatures above 40 degrees. Water sparingly – just enough to stop the leaves from wilting. Or take a cutting from a non-blooming stem, dip it in rooting powder and insert it into sterile potting mix. Keep barely moist. Roots form in about one month.
Whirlwind® Pink Fan Flower Spacing
A 14-inch container will hold, for example, one purple fountain grass, one Scaevola, and one Supertunia Mini Vista®. When grown in masses in the landscape, space each plant 10-12 inches. It has a spread of 18-24 inches.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
