Convolvulus sabatius
Ground Morning Glory |
USDA Zone: 7-9 |
Plant number: 1.160.500
(= C. mauritanicus) Very popular, and widely grown in California, this beautiful low groundcover is also worth trying in other regions. Plants form a low, trailing mat of round green leaves, bearing a long display of funnel-shaped lavender to violet-blue flowers. Excellent for rock gardens or edging, particularly in hot sunny areas. Also a good candidate for tubs and mixed containers or baskets. Sometimes treated as an annual in cold winter areas. Not invasive in any way. Evergreen where hardy. Drought tolerant, once established.
