Evolvulus hybrida Blue My Mind

Evolvulus hybrida Blue My Mind Morning Glory,
Native: Foliage Type:
No Evergreen
Plant Type: Plant Habit:
Groundcovers, Shrubs Spreading

Description:
It is hard to find great plants with lots of bright blue flowers. Here we have a dwarf herbaceous perennial which flowers its head off. The bright blue of the Evolvulus flowers make a statement in frost free gardens around the world growing in warmer parts of Mediterranean gardens through the sub-tropics and tropical regions. This variety, ‘Blue My Mind’ which we are introducing here needs to be widely grown, it is so good. We have seen it growing and flowering in the shade of a northern wall in California and even in that shady spot and flowering its head off. ‘Blue My Mind’ is a dwarf herbaceous perennial that fills the areas in mixed gardens that are trouble spots.
