More About Scaevola ‘Fairy™ Pink’

Scaevola ‘Fairy™ Pink’ is a more compact, refined fan flower, producing delicate soft pink blooms along neatly trailing stems. The flowers have a lighter, airy presence compared to larger scaevola varieties, making this selection ideal for smaller containers and detailed mixed plantings.

The Fairy™ series was bred specifically for controlled growth, uniform branching, and excellent heat tolerance, delivering reliable performance without excessive spread.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, ‘Fairy™ Pink’ has been a dependable performer in tight spaces, thriving in full sun and high heat without stretching or thinning out. It blooms continuously without deadheading and maintains a tidy habit all season.

We especially appreciate its design precision. This is a scaevola that works beautifully in window boxes, patio containers, and as a softer spiller where more vigorous varieties would overwhelm neighboring plants.

‘Fairy™ Pink’ vs. Other Scaevola

Compared to Surdiva® or Scalora® scaevola varieties, ‘Fairy™ Pink’ offers a more compact size and finer texture, making it better suited for smaller-scale designs.

While larger scaevola excel at bold trailing displays, ‘Fairy™ Pink’ shines in polished, balanced container combinations. For gardeners seeking a heat-loving, low-maintenance trailing annual with a gentle pink palette and controlled growth, Scaevola ‘Fairy™ Pink’ is an excellent choice.
