This bindweed is a hemicryptophyte scapose plant reaching on average 20–50 centimetres (7.9–19.7 in) in height. It has simple, alternate, lanceolate leaves, coarsely hairy on both sides. The wide funnel-shaped flowers are actinomorphic ("star shaped", "radial") and arranged on a long petiole at the leaf axils.
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
