Evolvulus Blue Daze

Common Name:
Blue Daze

Description:
Evolvulus glomeratus 'Blue Daze' is a tender, non-vining, herbaceous perennial that forms sprawling mounds 9 to 18 inches tall. It features brilliant blue flowers over a carpet of fuzzy, oval-shaped green leaves. The trailing stems tend to grow somewhat horizontally to downward when planted in baskets or containers. Flowers usually close up at night and on cloudy days. This plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it ideal for Melbourne's climate. It's drought-tolerant once established and can be used effectively in hanging baskets, containers, or as ground cover. Regular moisture and a balanced fertilizer will help get the plants established.
