Convolvulus MOON Series® ‘Mauve Rippled Moon’

Common Name:
Convolvulus MOON Series® ‘Mauve Rippled Moon’

Description:
Convolvulus ‘Mauve Rippled Moon’ is a compact, trailing groundcover or edging plant with a dense, neat habit and a long-lasting display of saucer-shaped mauve flowers. The blooms carry a subtle rippled or “seersucker” texture which adds extra visual interest to the petals. This cultivar remains low and spreads outward, making it ideal for softening edges of beds, cascading over retaining walls, or filling in between other perennials. It was bred to perform well in Australian conditions, especially in warm, dry sites, and once established it is relatively low-maintenance. The foliage is fine and attractive, providing a lush backdrop to the floral display.
