Evolvulus ‘Blue My Mind’ will truly blow your mind with its true-
blue, consistent flowering. It is perfect to use as a groundcover in
the garden or in containers, where it will form a mounding mat of
blue flowers. Its leaves are silvery-green and have a slightly fuzzy
feel to them.
‘Blue My Mind’ loves hot weather and will perform best in a full-
sun position. It is fairly drought tolerant once established, but growth
and flowering are better with consistent moisture. As much as it loves
the heat, this plant needs to be protected from even light frost.

Evolvulus glomeratus ‘Blue Daze’A glorious spring-flowering tree is Magnolia x soulangeana. It’s a
dainty deciduous tree of about 6 x 6m in size. Out of the characterful
main stem sprout many side branches, which produce the most
awesome tulip-shaped flowers in shades of pink, dark pink, lilac or
white, from late winter to spring. (The flower colour will depend
on the variety you plant.) From afar these large flowers, which are
produced in great numbers, create the illusion that a great swarm of
exotic birds has come to visit the garden. Light green leathery leaves
only appear when the flowering period is over. The tree’s summer
canopy does not cast deep shade, which allows the gardener to
plant lots of annuals, perennials and small shrubs beneath it. It is the
perfect tree for a small or cottage-style garden: easy to grow, but
slow to grow up.
