Convolvulus sabatius Ground Morning Glory (Small 140mm pot)

$18.00

A soft, trailing groundcover covered in lavender-blue, saucer-shaped flowers from spring right through to autumn. Its rounded, grey-green leaves form a dense mat that spills beautifully over walls, banks and the edges of pots. Fast growing and drought tolerant once established, it thrives in Canberra's hot, dry summers; heavy frost may burn the foliage, but it reshoots strongly in spring.

  • Mature size: Approx. 15-20cm H x 1m W
  • Foliage: Small, rounded, soft grey-green, evergreen
  • Flowers: Lavender-blue saucer-shaped flowers, spring to autumn
  • Growth habit: Trailing, mat-forming groundcover; fast growing
  • Position: Full sun to light shade; needs well-drained soil
  • Climate: Drought tolerant once established; tolerates light to moderate frost and reshoots if cut back by heavy frost
  • Water needs: Low; regular water while establishing
  • Soil: Well-drained soil; it dislikes wet feet. Dig a little Richgro Mushroom Compost into the planting hole, and break up heavy Canberra clay with gypsum clay breaker. In pots and hanging baskets, use a premium potting mix.
  • Feeding: A light feed of Osmocote All Purpose in spring. A seaweed tonic at planting and through summer helps with transplant shock and heat stress.
  • Maintenance: Low; trim back in late winter to keep it dense
  • Ideal for: Groundcover, retaining walls, banks, rockeries, hanging baskets and pots
