Description

A creeping perennial, usually deciduous, this Morning Glory bears small, light lavender blue flowers to 1" across from spring through fall. It can bloom through mild winters, and requires sun to part shade with little or no summer watering when established. It makes a good groundcover for small areas. -Monterey Bay Nursery
