| Plant Patent Applied For. Cultivar name: 'Bonscablue' Looking for a good alternative to that familiar trailing Petunia for your best baskets, window boxes, and tall containers? Give this exciting new Scaevola (Fanflower) a try! Much more heat-tolerant than older varieties, Surdiva™ forms a semi-trailing plant that flowers continuously from mid-spring through summer and fall, giving you nonstop color that needs almost no attention to keep looking its best! Other Fanflowers tend to be rather rangy and ragged at summer's end, exhausted by too many hot days and ready to quit blooming. Not Surdiva™! This remarkable plant from our friends at Suntory was developed in the sweltering summers of Japan, where humidity melts out lesser varieties. It stands up beautifully, never losing its neat shape -- 6 to 8 inches high and 18 to 24 inches wide -- or ceasing its 1 1/2-inch clusters of lovely blue blooms, each petal spread out like a fan. Charming and unusual! Give Surdiva™ full sun to light shade and any well-drained soil. It's perfect for containers of all types, its giant mound of blooms continuing to set new flowers from the center, so it never looks "stretched." And if you like these rich blue blooms, take a look at their light blue and white cousins. Better yet, save a little money and enjoy all 3 colors with our economical collection. You will be amazed at how versatile and adaptable this robust little plant really is! |
