Scaevola is one of my favorite summer annuals. This lavendar blue flower has been trailing out of my whiskey barrel all summer and hasn't shown any decline at all. My petunias have to be cut back every few weeks to stay fresh but scaevola has stayed strong. It's excellent as a summer groundcover and also looks great in a hanging basket. The cool color isn't as showy as yellows & reds but you can mix it with other plants for a great contrast. Mine is mixed with a chartreuse oregano.
