Evolvulus Blue Daze are native to South America. These creeping plants have unusual blue flowers which make them stand out. Their leaves and stems are covered in tiny gray hairs that remind you of peach fuzz. Their blooms have a short lifespan, but the plant continually produces more, which makes this a great hanging basket or landscape plant. Evolvulus will tolerate full sun, are easy to grow, and are hardy in zones 8-11.
General Growing Tips For Your Unrooted Cuttings
For best results with Evolvulus, use a constant feed program of 200 ppm N. Maintaining a pH between 5.5 and 6.5 is important to prevent iron deficiency. Allow the soil to completely dry between waterings. They do not like to be in constantly wet soil.
Your unrooted cuttings will arrive freshly cut. You will need to plant them immediately and begin a misting cycle to root the cuttings. This will leech the soil of nutrients, so during the propagation phase use a constant feed of 1/3 the normal recommended dosage of fertilizer until well rooted.
Flowering
Evolvulus will bloom naturally in the spring as the days lengthen. Each flower lasts about one day, opening in the morning and closing in the evening. The plant produces many blooms each day to keep the cycle going.
Pinching
We recommend that you pinch Evolvulus in order to maintain their shape and create a stocky plant. Allow 4-6 weeks after the last pinch for blooms to appear.
Spacing
Space pots as needed for pot size. Normal 2' centered spacing is usually adequate.
Height Control
Plant growth regulators are not necessary for Evolvulus. Allow the plant to grow, and shape the pots through proper pinching.
Pests
Whiteflies, thrips, and aphids are the biggest pest problems for Evolvulus.
Disease
Evolvulus are not prone to many diseases, but watch for botrytis while the days are short. This grey rot is usually associated with wet or humid conditions. You can prevent botrytis by allowing the plant to dry out between waterings, allowing for good airflow in your greenhouse, and spacing to allow the sun to penetrate to the soil level. The most common chemicals used to treat botrytis are Medallion and Banrot. Use them as a drench according to each label's instructions.
Evolvulus require much less water in the winter. When the temperature is low, try to keep the ambient humidity low as well. This will guard against rot and fungus. However, do not let them get completely dehydrated because Evolvulus do not tend to recover well if they get too dry.
Planting Evolvulus Blue Daze Liners
We recommend planting 5 starter plants per 10 inch basket. Use a well-drained soil in your baskets and plant your starter plants deep, allowing the ellepot to be completely covered by the soil. If you are planting 4" pots, 1 plant per pot should be sufficient. Plant it directly in the middle of your pot.
Pinching is not required on a natural season bloom schedule, but it is useful in shaping the basket as needed. Remember to give yourself a minimum of 4 weeks from the last pinch for blooms to develop.
Unrooted Cuttings Cuttings vary in size between different plant families, but most can be described as tip cuttings (ivy are leaf-and-eye stem cuttings not tips) that stick nicely
in small plug trays such as the 105-plug tray we use (some varieties are better suited for a 50 cell tray, i.e. Angelwing Begonia, Bougainvillea, Setcrecea, etc.). Please do not order unrooted cuttings unless you are an experienced propagator with mist systems and proper temperature control.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
