Blue Daze, Evolvulus glomeratus, Dwarf Morning Glory

Blue Daze (Evolvulus glomeratus), also called dwarf morning glory, is a low-growing plant with vivid blue flowers and silvery-green foliage. Jiffy Plants ships it as a single plant in a 2.5-inch pot with secure packing, but notes that it is sensitive and can be damaged if transit is delayed, so it does not recommend the plant for northern, eastern and western India. It needs full sun, ideally six to eight hours a day, and very well-draining soil, since soggy roots lead to rot. Once established it copes with dry spells. Its spreading, trailing habit suits ground cover, edging, containers and hanging baskets, and spent flowers drop off on their own.
