Common Name: Purple Moon (MOON Series® Convolvulus)
Description: Convolvulus MOON Series® ‘Purple Moon’ is a vibrant ground-hugging perennial celebrated for its vivid purple blooms and soft silver-grey foliage. A standout selection from the MOON Series®, this cultivar has been bred specifically for stronger flower colour, compact form, and resilience in Australian climates. Its bright purple, morning-glory-style flowers appear from spring through to early autumn, opening each morning and closing by evening, creating a dynamic display across the warmer months. ‘Purple Moon’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, showing excellent drought and heat tolerance once established—ideal for Melbourne’s dry summers. With a trailing, mounding habit, it's perfect for softening the edges of retaining walls, spilling out of pots, covering banks, or adding bold contrast to gravel gardens and rockeries. The combination of striking flower colour and shimmering foliage makes this cultivar a high-impact, low-maintenance choice for both modern and traditional garden designs.
