Blue My Minds are a Perfect Gift or Garden Ground Cover

Blue my Minds are tender, non-vining perennials that have a brilliant blue flower over a carpet of fuzzy, oval-shaped green leaves. It is often hung over the edge of baskets; outdoors as a ground cover, it spreads over stone walls or flower beds.

It is not a hardy plant, but if planted in the ground, it will form sprawling mounds 9 to 18 inches tall. Trailing stems tend to grow somewhat horizontally to downward when planted in baskets or containers. Flowers usually close up at night and on cloudy days. It is drought tolerant and no known serious problems with insects, pests, or diseases.

These fast growing plants need at least six hours of sun per day and are very adaptable and not fussy. If you have an area where nothing grows in its hard, unyielding soil, try Blue My Minds for summer color.
