Blue Eyes 140MM

Evolvulus pilosus

I am Blue Eyes. My family originated from North America.

Habit Groundcover - Thrives in the heat
Plant family Convolvulaceae
I am a spreading groundcover plant with attractive silky grey/green foliage producing beautiful small blue flowers from spring through summer to autumn. I am a great choice for hot dry locations where I will thrive. My trailing habit is well suited growing in hanging baskets and pots. I am tolerant of a range of soils but dislike boggy conditions. I prefer full sun where I will produce more flowers but am tolerant of shade. I am very low maintenance and tend to thrive on neglect.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
My compact spreading grey/green foliage is the backdrop for prolific small blue flowers in spring and summer
My trailing habit is ideal for rockeries, low borders, retaining walls, container planting and hanging baskets
My blooms close up at night and reopen at dawn
