Of your list, I use only the Scvaveola on a regular basis. In a sunny location it has always performed well for me. I have been going back and forth from Fan Flowers to Blue Daze(Evolvolus) and can't decide which one I like best. I will probably use both this year in different locations. I kinda prefer the large clumps the Blue Daze creates although you can achieve the same effect with Fan Flowers planted on a slight mound. The Blue Daze just seems to stay put a little better. Both do well with minimal water although, Fan Flowers fair better in drought.

Yes, I know only of scaevola. When I worked in the Bank of America building, Gibson Landscaping would change the bedding displays in the raised beds on long lanes along the walkway up to the doors every season. A couple of years ago they used fan flowers all up and down the walkway; along with nearly wild roses (they had about forty rosebushes) and something else I can't remember; that particular shade of pink and the fan flower and the other flower looked very nice together. Part of the beds were in sun and part in semi-shade; they did better in sun.

I used to love their displays.

The scavelola is gorgeous in hanging baskets, but I think I've only ever grown the "blue daze". I'd also recommend trying the browallia. I have this in a hanging basket (in shade) and it re-seeds there for me every year and does very well. A good winter-sowing candidate.

Forget me nots and annual phlox, I won't fool with again. The forget-me-nots seemed to require more water than they'll ever get from me. If you have a bog area then they might work well there. The annual phlox was easy to start from seed, but not very showy and if I remember correctly, the blooms only lasted a couple of weeks.

THANK YOU!
Then I will order Browallia seed, and when the pond goes in with the planter beside it, I'll consider the forget me nots. I grow them in my mothers garden easily in Canada, but I wasn't sure how they did down here.

THANK YOU!

When I moved into this house, it had Forget Me Nots. They reseeded in this sandy soil like crazy. The next year, they were everywhere. They were pretty, but be prepared to treat the excess like weeds if they like your ground.

GGG, if you havn't ordered the browallia seeds yet, I have a few here I could send you. E-mail me. I still need to send you some ligularia, and I know there was something else besides that, but I just can't remember what.... :(~

I planted Browalia when I lived in Aiken, SC. (zone 7) they grew beautifully in morning sun...a heavenly blue. But I'm too impatient for seeds....so I got them at nursery---but you have to look around for them--not everyone has them. I too, wonder how easy they grow from seed.

I saw a pretty Rose at Kmart's...almost bought it...but someone told me that it didn't bloom all summer...an Internet site says that it does bloom from Spring to Fall...
It's called "Nearly Wild"...a pretty pink...anyone know how long that Rose would bloom in Georgia?
Thanks.

From what I've seen around town those Nearly Wild's bloom non-stop although they can look a bit leggy at times.

Scaevola - a reliable hot summer plant. I love it and always plant it. BUT rabbits like it better than anything else in our yard.

Cynoglossum amabile - I've got seeds sprouted. Will have more info this year.
Phlox drummondii: annual phlox - I've got seeds sprouted of Phlox of Sheep and another one (I'll have to go look at the tag). And I've ordered some "Watercolor Memories". O.K. - I love the names. I guess I'll see this year how they do.
