Evolvulus glomeratus is a species of flowering plant in the family Convolvulaceae. It is commonly known as blue daze or Brazilian dwarf morning-glory. This plant is native to Brazil and is widely cultivated for its attractive blue flowers and ground-covering habit.
Description[edit | edit source]
Evolvulus glomeratus is a low-growing, perennial herb that typically reaches a height of 30-60 cm. The plant has a sprawling habit, with stems that can spread up to 90 cm. The leaves are small, ovate to elliptic, and covered with fine hairs, giving them a silvery appearance. The flowers are funnel-shaped, bright blue, and about 2-3 cm in diameter. They bloom profusely from spring to fall.
Habitat and Distribution[edit | edit source]
This species is native to Brazil but has been introduced to various tropical and subtropical regions around the world. It thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun to partial shade. Evolvulus glomeratus is often used in gardens and landscapes as a ground cover or in hanging baskets.
Cultivation and Uses[edit | edit source]
Evolvulus glomeratus is popular in horticulture due to its low maintenance and drought tolerance. It is commonly used in landscaping for ground cover, borders, and rock gardens. The plant prefers well-drained soil and can tolerate poor soil conditions. It requires minimal watering once established and is relatively pest and disease-free.
