Plant details
Plants for impoverished dry sites are always welcome, and the dwarf morning glory is a popular and reliable choice. In frost-free gardens it is perennial and semi-evergreen, although it does not last for many seasons, but it is more usually sown every year, under glass or in situ. The flowers are usually tri-coloured, with yellow or gold throats surrounded by a flared white ring, and then the main colour of the trumpet, either brilliant blue, red or white, or more pastel shades of these. Blooms last a day, but many more follow all season. They are a useful way of attracting beneficial insects, such as hoverflies, into the garden.
