Scaevola myrtifolia is a spreading, slightly sticky coastal shrub from south-western Australia with small white flowers, grown outdoors in mild climates. The key to growing it is full sun and very free-draining soil, since it naturally grows over limestone.
Scaevola myrtifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Goodeniaceae and is endemic to coastal areas of south-western Australia. It is a spreading, slightly sticky shrub with elliptic to oblong leaves, sometimes with a few teeth on the edges, white flowers sometimes singly or in cymes in leaf axils, and glabrous, green, cylindrical fruit.
Scaevola myrtifolia grows in stony soil, often over limestone, in mallee in near coastal areas from near Albany in Western Australia to the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia.
