Convolvulus has trailing twining stems and spreads by underground rhizomes. The flowers are bright pink and appear in late spring and summer. Many think that Convolvulus are morning glories...they are not; the morning glory species is ipomoea. The flowers of Convolvulus stay open all day and blooms profusely. May be invasive in warmer climates. Should be supported. Best cultivated in full sun in any moist well draining soil. Deadhead to promote more flowering and thicker growth. Propagate by cuttings. Hardy zones 8-10.
