Blue Daze (Evolvulus glomeratus) is the low, spreading groundcover that gives you true sky-blue flowers nearly every day of the year in South Florida. A member of the morning glory family from Brazil, it forms a soft mound of small, fuzzy gray-green leaves topped with inch-wide blue blooms with a white eye. Plant it along a walkway, let it spill over a wall or a pot edge, and it takes full sun, sandy soil and salt air with almost no care.

Blue Daze Breakdown
Appearance:
Trailing stems with small oval leaves covered in fine silvery hairs.
The funnel-shaped flowers are a clear, bright blue with a white center — a color few other plants offer — and open each morning, closing by late afternoon and on cloudy days. New blooms keep coming spring through fall, and on and off through a warm winter.
Growth Rate:
Fast.
A 3-gallon plant knits into a 2–3 foot mat in a single season.
Size:
9–18 inches tall and 2–3 feet wide.
Available in 3-gallon.
Sunlight Requirements:
Full sun.
The more sun, the more flowers; in shade it stretches and blooms little.
Water Needs:
Low once established.
Water regularly for the first few weeks, then only in a long dry spell. Soggy soil invites root rot, so err on the dry side.
Soil Preferences:
Sandy, well-drained soil — it is right at home in Florida sand.
Avoid low spots that hold water after rain.
Maintenance:
Low.
Shear it back lightly in late winter or whenever it gets leggy to keep it dense and blooming. A light feeding in spring is all it needs. Deer tend to leave it alone.
Landscape Use:
Front-of-bed border and edging, flowering groundcover over sunny banks and medians, spilling over retaining walls and planter edges, between pavers and rocks, and in containers and hanging baskets.
Pairs well with yellow and silver — lantana, dune sunflower, muhly grass and agaves.
Climate Tolerance:
USDA zones 9–11 as a perennial; it is grown as an annual farther north.
Takes heat, humidity, drought and coastal salt spray; a frost browns it but it usually regrows from the base.
Want the same blue on a bigger plant? Plumbago gives you a 3–5 foot shrub with powder-blue flowers. Blue Daze is the low carpet in front of it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to Plant & Care for Blue Daze in Florida
Choose Sun + Spacing
Most Florida plants prefer full to partial sun. Check mature width and space accordingly so plants don’t crowd as they fill in.
Dig Wide, Not Deep
Dig a hole 2–3x wider than the container and slightly shallow. This encourages roots to spread outward into native soil.
Plant at Proper Height
Remove from the pot, loosen circling roots, and plant with the root ball level to slightly above grade.
Water to Establish
Water deeply right after planting. For the first 10–14 days, consistent moisture is critical—don’t let the root ball dry out.
Mulch + Light Maintenance
Apply 2–3 inches of mulch (keep off the stem). Once settled, light trimming encourages fuller growth.

What Florida Customers Say
Dino's Palms did an amazing job with delivering and installation of my new calusia. Their plants are very affordable and I highly recommend them.
Installed 11 4.5ft clusia plants in my front lawn, quality work finished in great time, thank you!
Bought three plants from this company, Dino and his wife are very helpful and pretty good delivery speed if you live in West Palm Beach (free delivery). The plants are healthy, vibrant, and very well established and much better than the product you find online or via Home Depot. You get more plant for the money and the deals are pretty good. Once you buy one plant, you'll be impressed and purchase more.
