I purchased a few of your Whirlwind Blue Scaevola to complement some yellow strawflowers. They are awesome. They are totally taking off, they are huge and always blooming. They are absolutely gorgeous and have survived heat, full Kansas sun all day long and several days of severe high winds. We are in a new development so our soil is bad, no time to get much compost in it yet, its really sandy and we have no wind gaurds. These guys have thrived despite all that. I can’t even believe how great they look. Even though they are an annual I am going to keep getting them every year. They are my new favorite. - Victoria, Kansas

No plant is truly drought tolerant in a container; water is necessary for all plants in containers.
