We love this plant for it's ability to handle the heat and full sun in this zone. It is a solid bloomer (seems to bloom more when in full sun) and it's foliage maintains it's durability in the sun. Surdiva® Scaevola is now one of the most heat tolerant plants around and offers continuous color even through summer and bad weather. Its blossoms are unique pink fan-shaped. They bloom well into the fall. Their habit is compact and semi-trailing. They are self-cleaning (no deadheading) and for use in baskets, combination plantings, window boxes, and landscaping. At maturity, this plant is 6-10" wide and has a spread of 18-24"
