More About Scaevola ‘Surdiva® Fashion Pink’

Scaevola ‘Surdiva® Fashion Pink’ produces soft, elegant pink fan-shaped flowers that bloom continuously from late spring through frost. The blooms are slightly rounded with a refined pastel tone, making this variety ideal for softer color palettes and mixed container designs. The Surdiva® Series was bred for uniform growth, strong branching, and improved garden performance, ensuring reliable flowering even in high heat and intense sun.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, ‘Fashion Pink’ has been a dependable summer performer, thriving in hot, dry conditions where many annuals struggle. It maintains a tidy trailing habit, doesn’t require deadheading, and continues blooming steadily throughout the season. We especially appreciate its versatility. It works beautifully as a spiller in mixed containers, hanging baskets, and window boxes, while also functioning as a low groundcover in sunny beds.

Surdiva® Fashion Pink vs. Other Scaevola Varieties

Surdiva® Fashion Pink represents the best balance of performance and aesthetics among the Surdiva® Series. It doesn’t dominate a container the way Surdiva® Blue Violet can, but it provides more visual interest than Surdiva® White. Its growth habit remains tidy and controlled, making it especially effective in mixed containers where balance matters. It works equally well as a spiller, a filler-leaning trailer, or a color bridge between bold and neutral plants.

Compared to Fairy™ Pink, it offers noticeably stronger branching, better uniformity, and a fuller plant over time. Its color is richer and more intentional, avoiding the pale washout that can occur in lighter pink selections under strong sun. Fashion Pink sits at the intersection of softness and presence. For gardeners who want a Scaevola that “just works” in almost any design, this is the safest and most versatile choice.
