Evergreen Plants

Evolvulus Blue My Mind is a compact, heat-loving perennial celebrated for its intense sky-blue flowers and soft, silver-green foliage. The small, vivid blue flowers—reminiscent of miniature morning glories—appear continuously throughout the warmer months, providing reliable colour even in hot, dry conditions. A balanced, slow-release fertiliser applied in spring and again in mid-summer will support strong growth and an impressive floral display. Its trailing stems create a lush, low-growing mound that blooms profusely from spring through to autumn, making it an ideal choice for borders, containers, and hanging baskets. Lightly trim back any leggy growth or spent blooms to maintain a tidy shape and encourage fresh flowering.

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun. Drought and coastal tolerant. Frost tender.
