Scaevola White Sparkle

Starts flowering white, then displays light blue stripes later in the season. Medium, controlled vigor means plants won’t fall apart in final stages of production. Ideal for 1-gallon pots and hanging baskets.

Also available as Genesis direct-stick callused cuttings.

Breeder Acknowledgment: WHITE SPARKLE is bred by Kings Park and Botanic Garden, Western Australia.
