What is Evolvulus Blue Daze?

Evolvulus ‘Blue Daze’ is a popular groundcover valued for its blue flowers and soft silvery-green foliage, creating a cooling, coastal-inspired look in the garden. Its naturally spreading habit makes it ideal for filling gaps, softening edges, and adding colour to sunny spaces. It is especially well suited to Australian conditions due to its resilience in heat and dry periods.

How to care for Evolvulus Blue Daze

Plant in a full sun to lightly shaded position in well-drained soil for best performance. Water regularly during establishment. Avoid overly wet conditions, particularly in cooler months. Light pruning will help maintain a compact shape and encourage continuous flowering. Apply fertiliser during the warmer months to support healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
