Distinctive Features

This tender perennial, often grown as an annual, is known for bright, funnel-shaped blue flowers that open in the morning and often close later in the day. The foliage is soft and fuzzy with a silvery-green cast that adds a cool tone even when blooms pause. The plant stays low and dense, with a mounding to gently trailing habit that works equally well in pots or massed in the ground. Mature size is typically about 4 to 8 inches tall and 8 to 16 inches wide, with a wider spread possible in containers.

Growing Conditions

• Sun: Full sun for the best flowering and the tightest, most durable growth.
• Soil: Well-drained soil or a high-quality container mix that does not stay soggy.
• Water: Moderate water to establish, then low to moderate water, watering when the soil surface begins to dry.
• Zones: Perennial in USDA Zones 9 to 11, and grown as an annual in colder regions.
• Notable Traits: Heat tolerant, drought tolerant once established, and deadheading is generally unnecessary.

Ideal Uses

• Focal Point: Plant in a wide, low bowl as a focal point where the true blue flowers can read as a solid pool of color.
• Containers: Use as a spiller or low filler to soften edges while keeping a dense, finished look.
• Border Edging: Mass along sunny bed lines for a clean, low band of blue that stays compact.
• Groundcover Effect: Plant in groups to knit open spaces together with long-season bloom and silvery foliage.

Low Maintenance Care

• Establishment: Water consistently for the first few weeks so roots develop strongly in warm weather.
• Trimming: Shear lightly if growth stretches to encourage fresh branching and more blooms.
• Feeding: Feed lightly in containers during the season to support steady flowering and healthy growth.
• Drainage: Avoid waterlogged soil, since overly wet conditions can weaken the plant.
