Notes

Evolvulus (Evolvulus nuttallianus) is a perennial for ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. It grows 12 to 18 inches tall and wide, so it fills a small space. Lavender to blue flowers open from late spring into early to mid summer. You can plant it near the front of a bed where the blue blooms are easy to see.

Pairs well with Mallow, Tall fescue, and Queen of Night tulip.
