Scaevola aemula Top Pot Pink ['Wesscaetopi'] PP19,729 (Pink Fan Flower) - An evergreen herbaceous perennial that grows as a low 1 foot tall sprawling mat to 2 feet wide with soft nearly succulent medium green colored coarsely-toothed leaves. The 1 inch wide fan-shaped flowers appear in mass from spring through summer with pink petal lobes and yellow throats. Plant in full to part sun in a well-drained soil and irrigate regularly to occasionally - will rebound if allowed to wilt prior to irrigation but is touchy about overwatering and heavy soils. Hardy to light frost and short durations around 30° F but is also a useful annual in colder areas. The Top Pot series is the result of a breeding program conducted by Joseph and Heinrich Westhoff of Westhoff Gartenbau in Sudlohn, Germany. The goal of the program was to create new compact and freely-flowering Scaevola cultivars with attractive flower coloration. Top Pot Pink was the result of a cross between Scaevola aemula '05P11' (seed parent) with Scaevola aemula '05P61' and was selected in 2006. It was selected for its compact mounding freely branching growth habit and pink flowers. In a breeder comparison this plant is more outwardly spreading but with shorter and thinner branches than Top Pot Blue. It received US Plant Patent Number 19,729 on February 17, 2009.
