Description:
A very dense and compact form of this universally popular ground cover. It's often utilised for low maintenance areas due to its tough characteristics. Masses of soft lavender blue flowers are freely produced from late spring through to autumn. It trails well when planted near rocks, above embankments and retaining walls. Moroccan Beauty is equally useful for covering bare patches in mixed borders or for container culture. Convolvulus Moroccan Beauty is ideal for 'no fuss' landscaping as well as those with limited space. Grows approx. 10cm H x 60cm W.
