Did you know
- Unlike its vining relatives, bush morning glory is a compact, mound-forming shrub that never needs a trellis.
- Its silvery-white leaves are covered in tiny silky hairs that reflect sunlight and reduce water loss in hot climates.
- The funnel-shaped flowers open fresh each morning and close by evening, true to the morning glory name.
- This Mediterranean native is extremely drought-tolerant once established, often thriving with no supplemental water.
- Pink buds unfurl into white flowers with a yellow center, giving the plant a delicate two-toned appearance.
