Description
Convolvulus sabatius, also known as Blue Morning Glory or Groundcover Bindweed, is a hardy Mediterranean perennial admired for its cascading growth and stunning lavender blue flowers. The dense, trailing stems form a low mound of silvery green foliage that spreads easily across the ground or spills gracefully from walls and containers. It’s an excellent choice for Melbourne gardens seeking colour, texture, and drought tolerance with minimal maintenance.
