Convolvulus mauritanicus

Ground Morning Glory, Creeping Blue Morning Glory

The Latin name means "to entwine", and these evergreens trail or twine over dry banks, fences and walls. Their funnel-shaped flowers, which resemble Morning Glories, bloom all summer. But beware, for they can naturalize and become troublesome. Prune in late winter to encourage new growth.

This perennial ground cover has roundish, hairy gray-green leaves and lavender-blue flowers. Tolerates drought and poor soils.
