Scaevola Fairy Pink is a charming Australian native groundcover prized for its masses of soft pink, fan-shaped flowers that bloom prolifically through most of the warmer months and often continue flowering for much of the year in favourable conditions. Part of the improved ‘Fairy’ series, this variety has a denser, more compact habit with excellent branching, creating a lush display of foliage and flowers that spill beautifully over the edges of pots, hanging baskets, retaining walls, and garden beds. Fairy Pink is ideal for use as a flowering groundcover, in rockeries, coastal gardens, embankments, and container plantings. Its trailing habit makes it particularly effective where it can cascade naturally, softening hard landscape features and providing long-lasting colour. Light pruning after heavy flowering flushes helps keep plants compact and encourages fresh growth and additional blooms.

Meet Myoporum montanum Waterbush — a hardworking little tree that’s as practical as it is interesting.
