More About Evolvulus Blue My Mind®

Evolvulus Blue My Mind® is one of the truest blue flowering plants available, prized for its intense sky-blue blooms and exceptional heat tolerance. The flowers open daily in bright sun, creating a steady display of color from late spring through fall.

The silvery-green foliage provides a soft contrast to the electric blue flowers and stays attractive even during periods of heat and drought. Unlike many blue-flowering plants that fade or stall in summer, Blue My Mind® thrives in hot, sunny conditions where others struggle.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, Blue My Mind® has been extremely reliable in full sun and high-heat environments. It spreads evenly, maintains a tidy, low profile, and continues blooming heavily without deadheading.

We especially appreciate its versatility. It works beautifully as a spiller in containers, a ground cover in sunny beds, or an edging plant along walkways and borders. Once established, it requires very little maintenance and handles dry spells far better than most annuals.

Evolvulus Blue My Mind® vs. Other Evolvulus

Compared to standard Blue Daze varieties, Blue My Mind® offers more compact growth, better branching, and more consistent flowering. Older selections often became leggy or bloomed intermittently, while this cultivar was bred specifically for garden and container performance.

When compared to other blue annuals like lobelia or verbena, Evolvulus stands out for its superior heat tolerance and true blue coloration. For gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, heat-loving plant with authentic blue flowers, Evolvulus Blue My Mind® is one of the best options available.
