Fan flowers or scaevola annual or perennial in NC?

Question

Hi, I just got a bunch of fan flowers/scaevola . The NC State website says they are annual but I've had luck getting some annuals to come back if we have a mild winter. These are perennials in Florida. Looking for someone with experience in NC area - do these come back after first year? Is it worth planting these at this point? or is there no hope of them coming back next year?

Answer 1

These lovely blue flowers are hardy in Zones 10-11. If you're cooler than that, enjoy them as long as you can, but they won't come back.
