Notes
Shrubby bindweed (Convolvulus cneorum) is a shrub for border, container, and xeriscape plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average soil of most types. White flowers with yellow throats open in early to late spring and again in early to late summer. It sits low on the menu for deer. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms, and the foliage is evergreen.
Pairs well with Lemon thyme, White sage, and Italian cypress.
Native range
