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.

Blue My Mind® vs. Other Evolvulus

Evolvulus Blue My Mind® stands out for its exceptionally rich, true-blue flowers and consistently uniform growth habit. Unlike older or standard Blue Daze types that can become leggy or sporadically flower under heat stress, Blue My Mind® was selected and bred for stronger branching, more compact form, and prolific blooming that holds up in full sun and high temperatures. When compared to Hawaiian Blue Eyes, Blue My Mind® typically maintains a tidier mound with slightly smaller but intensely colored blooms, making it ideal for containers and tighter landscape spaces.

Relative to Beach Bum® Blue, it offers similarly dependable color but with a more refined, controlled profile rather than Beach Bum’s broader spread and freer flowing habit. Overall, Blue My Mind® delivers a blend of structure, heat tolerance, and continuous color that outperforms many traditional and newer Evolvulus cultivars in both garden beds and decorative plantings.
