Blue daze (Evolvulus glomeratus) is an evergreen member of the morning glory family characterized by downy leaves and funnel shaped, sky blue or lavender flowers that are up to an inch long. Flowers are short lived, opening in the morning and dying by the end of the day. Blue daze is a low maintenance plant that requires minimal care to thrive.
Hawaiian Blue Eyes are somewhat drought tolerant, but they do best when consistently watered throughout hot weather days.
These heat-loving plants tolerate partial shade but do best in full sun but need shielding from light frost.
Well-draining soil enriched with organic compost is ideal. Keep newly transplanted seedlings protected and well watered until they become well established.
Evolvulus is winter hardy in USDA hardiness zones 9 through 11. In all other USDA zones, it grows as an annual.
