scaevola

My last new plant of the year is this scaevola- "fan flower". It originates in Australia, so doesn't suffer from any pests here and likes the heat. I totally bought it on a whim because I was so intrigued by the flowers.
they have petals on just one side of the throat
My pot is mostly blue-violet, with a mix of pink in there
I have it on my front porch right now but am considering taking cuttings and using it overhanging the small wall in front of the house that was an original edge to the planting space. . . .
