Notes
Aupaka (Scaevola taccada) is a shrub for coastal gardens, hedges, and screens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun and average moisture. It can reach 3 to 10 feet tall and spreads even wider, so give it room. Flowers appear in white, yellow, green, and purple tones through every season.
Pairs well with Orange jessamine, Blue daisy, Mandevilla, and Pineapple lily.
