ON THIS PLANT

Dwarf Morning Glory (Evolvulus) is a one-of-a-kind plant with blue blossoms, one of the most uncommon colors among blooming plants. Evolvulus is an excellent choice for any garden bed or container. This low-growing, spreading plant will produce a sea of ocean-blue flowers above green leaves with hints of a silvery sheen when planted in a sunny location.

CARE GUIDE

How to keep Evolvulus Convolvuloides.

Water

Evolvulus thrives when it gets continuous, even hydration, but it hates sitting in wet soil. It tolerates drought after it has established itself. Because of its drought tolerance, this plant is a good choice for neglected regions of your garden or pots that don't get enough water. Overwatering evolvulus, which can cause root rot, is one of the quickest ways to kill it.

Temperature

They thrive in the heat of summer and are the happiest flowering at temperatures over 65 degrees Fahrenheit. It is sensitive to frost.

Fertilizer

In the spring and summer, feed evolvulus once a month. Use a general-purpose liquid fertilizer and follow the directions on the label. In warm climates where it is a perennial, don't feed it in the winter.

Pruning

Because these plants self-clean, deadheading isn't necessary to remove spent blooms. Trimming these plants back during the growing season, on the other hand, will keep them bushy and less sprawling.

Toxicity

The dwarf morning glory has no known toxic trait.
