Description:
A beautiful, blue, funnel-shaped flower that blooms over a mounding carpet of fuzzy oval leaves. It is not a hardy plant, but when planted in the ground, it will grow in 8-18-inch sprawling mounds. It makes a beautiful hanging container plant, as trailing stems have a tendency to grow horizontally and hang down. Being in the Morning Glory family, flowers open in the morning and close at night.
Growth Habit: Clumping, spreading
Native Origin: South America
Hardiness Zone: 8a, 8b, 9a, 9b, 10a, 10b, 11a, 11b
Environment: Full sun, well-draining soil
Growth Rate: 6in- 1ft high and best maintained at 2-3ft in width
Maintenance: Little maintenance is needed for Blue Daze. Trimming and fertilization is recommended to promote bushier growth, as it has a tendency to spread. It is an annual and should be brought inside for the winter or replaced in spring. It is a drought and deer-resistant plant with a long flowering period.
