Scaevola calendulacea

Dune fan-flower comes from open habitats, such as sunny meadows and forest margins, that provide abundant light. It performs best in Full Sun but can also tolerate Partial Sun, adapting well to a range of sunlight conditions.

Dune fan-flower shows good temperature adaptability, tolerating higher heat and larger temperature fluctuations. During hot weather, attention should be paid to watering and providing appropriate shade to avoid sunburn. In contrast, dune fan-flower is relatively sensitive to low temperatures. Although it can endure some cold, very low temperatures may cause frost damage.

Timing is important when fertilizing dune fan-flower. Apply fertilizer in early spring and repeat monthly until early summer. Fertilizer encourages attractive blooms and provides energy during both dormant and active growth phases.

The Dune fan-flower boasts vibrant blossoms and a spreading growth habit. To encourage new blooms and improve its shape, prune the plant in early spring by removing dead stems and thinning out dense areas. This practice not only enhances the plant's vitality and pest resistance but also maximizes its ornamental value.
