Blue My Mind XL Dwarf Morning Glory (Evolvulus 'Blue My Mind XL')
ee-VOL-view-lus 'Blue My Mind XL'

Annual (usually grown as an annual near you) Trailing, Mounded in the Convolvulaceae Family
An extra-large-flowered, extra-vigorous selection of true-blue dwarf morning glory -- the biggest, boldest Blue My Mind yet.

Evolvulus 'Blue My Mind XL' is a patented, larger-flowered, more vigorous selection in the popular Blue My Mind line of dwarf morning glory, bred for bigger true-blue blooms and a larger overall plant than the original. Staying low at just 4 to 8 inches tall but spreading an impressive 12 to 20 inches wide, it carries fine, silvery-green foliage beneath a heavy, season-long flush of true-blue flowers. It thrives in full sun and heat, and tolerates short dry spells once established, making it a bold statement piece for containers, hanging baskets, and sunny groundcover plantings.

Pros

  • Larger flowers and a more vigorous, spreading habit than the original Blue My Mind
  • Heavy, nonstop true-blue bloom from spring to frost
  • Genuinely heat-loving and tolerant of short dry spells once established
  • Fine, silvery-green foliage adds texture between flushes of bloom

Cons

  • Not cold hardy; grown as an annual in the Chicago area and sensitive to even light frost
  • Needs full sun to perform its best
  • Larger spread needs more room than the original Blue My Mind
This plant is probably not winter-hardy outdoors where you live.
Highlights

A bigger, bolder take on the popular Blue My Mind dwarf morning glory -- larger true-blue flowers and a more vigorous, wider-spreading habit, bred specifically to outperform the original.

Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants

Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.

Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

No Pricing or Availability Right Now

We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region. It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.

Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
