Professional Growing Information I grew this for the first time this summer. It bloomed beautifully all season and is still flowering now on November 19! The planter was in a real hot spot that has proved too much for many sun living plants, and we had periods of intense heat this summer. I am thrilled and hope to be using it in many other spots next summer.

Scaevola is one of my all time annual favorites for full sun locations. From the initial planting to the end of the season, this annual out performs other plants with it's prolific flower display. With regular plant care, watering and fertilizing, I have a Proven Winner in my hanging baskets year after year!
