Notes
'Blue Ensign' dwarf morning glory (Convolvulus tricolor 'Blue Ensign') is an annual for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It spreads 12 to 24 inches and tolerates drought. Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit the blooms in summer.
Pairs well with Zohar sunflower, Polar Bear zinnia, and Red fescue.
