Goodeniaceae is a family of flowering plants closely related to the asters. One genus, in this family, Scaevola, is considered to be named to allude to the one-sided shape of the flower, which has a five-lobed tubular corolla; scaevus in Latin translates to 'left-handed'. Below: Scaevola aemula, the fairy fan-flower or common fan-flower is native to southern Australia and likes full sun or partial shade. | ||
The abundant blooms of scaevola are borne along fleshy deep green stems. This Australian native is heat- and drought-tolerant so it's a good plant to endure in the heat of the summer. The trailing and cascading habit makes them a natural choice for mixed containers and hanging baskets. Family: FAMILY |
