Evolvulus Beach Bum Blue (sometimes called Evolvulus glomeratus 'Beach Bum Blue') is a compact, trailing annual or tender perennial known for its stunning true-blue flowers that resemble tiny morning glories. This heat-loving plant typically grows 6-12 inches tall with a spread of 12-24 inches, making it perfect for hanging baskets, containers, and as a colorful groundcover in garden beds. The small blue flowers bloom profusely from spring until frost against a backdrop of silvery-green foliage. It thrives in full sun and well-draining soil.
