A beautiful ground-cover with unique blue flowers

Blue Daze is a wonderful addition to the subtropical garden or landscape because it stays low, blooms in sun or shade, and tolerates salt well.

This tender perennial is often sold and grown as an annual. But it lasts for a few years. Blue flowers, resembling small morning glory flowers, bloom on the tips of trailing stems; useful as a groundcover or hanging basket. Small, soft gray-green leaves form attractive backdrop. Flowers close in the evening and on overcast days.
