Noteworthy Characteristics
Blue Daze, or Evolvulus, is one plant that likes it hot! It grows in a low, spreading mound of fuzzy, light grey foliage that is a nice background to the funnel shaped, powder blue, 5-petaled flowers with white throats that are born individually near the stem tips. Blue Daze blooms profusely and almost continuously throughout the warm season.
Uses
Blue Daze is a standout in beds and borders or as a ground cover. It's especially attractive grown in masses near yellow or pink flowering plants. Blue daze is spectacular in container gardens and hanging baskets, where it's branches will cascade over the edges. In zones north of 9a it can be overwintered indoors. It is highly tolerant of salt, and makes a fine ornamental for the coastal garden or in a planter on an oceanside balcony.
