Discover Proven Winners® Blue My Mind® Evolvulus

If you’re on the hunt for a resilient, vibrant plant that thrives in full sun and brings a splash of blue to your garden, look no further than the Proven Winners® Evolvulus, Blue My Mind®. This captivating plant is a game-changer for gardeners seeking low-maintenance, high-impact options.

Growing Conditions

Blue My Mind® is a sun lover. It thrives in full sun, needing at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day to perform its best. This makes it an excellent choice for sunny borders, containers, and even hanging baskets.

Soil: This plant prefers well-drained soil and is quite drought-tolerant once established. While it can tolerate a range of soil types, it performs best in soil that isn’t overly rich in organic matter. Too much fertility can lead to more foliage growth at the expense of flowers.

Water: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Once established, it requires minimal watering, making it perfect for xeriscaping and other low-water-use landscapes.

Fertilization: Blue My Mind® doesn’t require heavy feeding. A light application of a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring is typically sufficient. Over-fertilizing can reduce flowering and lead to leggy growth.

Maintenance

One of the biggest appeals of Blue My Mind® is its low-maintenance nature. Here are a few tips to keep your plant looking its best:

• Pruning: Regular deadheading isn’t necessary, but occasional trimming can help maintain a tidy appearance and encourage more blooms.
• Pests and Diseases: This plant is generally pest and disease-free. However, keeping the foliage dry by watering at the base can prevent potential fungal issues.
• Overwintering: In zones 9-11, Blue My Mind® can be grown as a perennial. In cooler climates, it is often treated as an annual. To overwinter, you can bring potted plants indoors before the first frost.

Design Ideas

Blue My Mind® is versatile and can be used in various garden settings:

• Containers and Hanging Baskets: Its trailing habit makes it perfect for containers and hanging baskets, where it can spill over the edges and create a cascade of blue flowers.
• Borders and Edging: Plant it along garden borders or pathways for a continuous ribbon of color.
• Ground Cover: In warmer climates, it can serve as a beautiful ground cover, filling in spaces between larger plants.
