Description
Convolvulus sabatius ssp. mauritanicus 'New Blue Moon', commonly known as Ground Blue-Convolvulus or Blue Rock Bindweed, is an exceptional hybrid that combines the best qualities of its parent plants. This evergreen groundcover forms a dense, trailing mound, making it perfect for filling in garden beds, rockeries, and containers. In Perth, 'New Blue Moon' thrives in full sun to part shade, where it adds vibrant greenery and a soft texture to garden spaces.
Flowering from Djilba (Early Spring) through Kambarang (Late Spring), 'New Blue Moon' produces an abundance of rich blue-violet flowers that gradually fade to lighter shades, creating a dynamic display of varying colours across the plant. It performs best in well-drained, sandy or loamy soils and is drought-tolerant once established, needing only occasional watering during extended dry periods. This hardy, low-maintenance cultivar is ideal for water-wise gardens and adds a touch of Mediterranean charm to Perth landscapes.
