Blue Daze

Evolvulus glomeratus

Also known as Brazilian Dwarf Morning Glory, Hawaiian Blue Eyes

Blue daze carpets open ground with velvety, grey-green foliage topped by vivid sky-blue blossoms featuring bright white centers. Flowers open promptly with the morning sun and furl tightly shut by late afternoon or during overcast weather. Thriving in sandy soils and intense heat, this drought-tolerant ground cover provides a steady nectar source for bees and butterflies across warm tropical landscapes.

Responsible observation
  • Timing: Look for open blossoms in mid-morning sunlight, as flowers close tightly on cloudy days and by late afternoon.
  • Soil Care: Plant in sandy, sharply draining soil, as excessive moisture leads to rapid root decline.
  • Cold Protection: Shelter plants or take cuttings before frost, as sustained freezing temperatures kill the stems.
