A purple cascade with exotic accents

The Scaevola 'Scalora Fancy Saphira' displays deep purple, almost sapphire fan-shaped flowers, borne on a plant with a trailing habit that is dense and naturally graceful. Very floriferous and heat-resistant, this variety is as appealing for its vibrant color as for its robustness in the face of the harshest summer conditions.

Its bright green, slightly toothed foliage contrasts beautifully with the asymmetrical fan-shaped inflorescences characteristic of the Scaevola genus. Perfect for window boxes, hanging baskets, or as a trailing plant in containers, it offers continuous flowering without requiring tedious maintenance.
