Convolvulus ‘Silvery Moon’

Common Name:
Silvery Moon Bindweed

Description:
Convolvulus ‘Silvery Moon’ is a low-growing, evergreen ground cover admired for its velvety silver foliage and soft white trumpet-shaped flowers. A standout in dry and coastal gardens, this cultivar offers a luminous presence throughout the year, with foliage that reflects light and adds contrast to green-dominated planting schemes. From spring through to early summer, it produces a gentle flush of open-faced white flowers that sit lightly above the silvery mat. ‘Silvery Moon’ is exceptionally drought-tolerant once established and thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it perfectly suited to Melbourne’s climate. It handles poor soils, wind, and coastal exposure with ease, and its spreading form makes it ideal for use on banks, in rockeries, or spilling over walls and retaining edges. Minimal maintenance is required—an occasional trim after flowering will keep it compact and neat.
