Description
Blue Daze (Evolvulus glomeratus, also sold as Blue Daze evolvulus) is a low, spreading plant valued for its silvery-green, softly fuzzy foliage and bright violet-blue flowers. Blooms appear through the warm season, often opening in sunshine and closing later in the day. Plants may reach roughly 9–24 inches tall and 2–3 feet across, creating a soft edge for sunny borders, baskets, and containers.
Growing Blue Daze in Alabama
Give Blue Daze full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly while it establishes, then let the upper layer dry slightly between waterings; it dislikes waterlogged roots. In Alabama’s heat and humidity, provide good air movement and avoid constantly wet foliage. Light trimming keeps long stems tidy and encourages branching. It is frost sensitive in much of Alabama, so grow it as a warm-season annual or move a container into protection before freezing temperatures. Established plants can flower from spring into fall.
