Notes
Mallow bindweed (Convolvulus althaeoides) is a perennial for containers, ground cover, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and dry, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It blooms from early to late summer. The plant is drought tolerant, and it can spread up to 71 inches, so give it room.
Pairs well with Cheddar pink, Lavandin, Autumn moor grass, and Globemaster allium.
