No ID. Wondering how to care for it in cold weather.

Bradyville, TN

I've lost the tag that told the name of this flower and if it's annual or perennial. I think I remember it being named a pinwheel and I'm sure it said full sun and drought resistant. I am very new to having plants and was wondering what I do to care for it now that it's starting to get cold. (I'm in zone 6.) Do I leave it outside or bring it in? Does it come back next year?

It's Scaevola amula, aka fan flower http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/246/
Although Plant Files lists it only being hardy to zone 10, I've found that it survives fine in zone 9 as well, but it has pretty much no chance of surviving winter outdoors in a pot in zone 6, so if you want to enjoy it again next year you'll have to bring it in for the winter.

Thank you very much.
