Convolvulus sabatius, also known as ground blue-convolvulus or blue rock bindweed, is a flowering plant native to Italy and North Africa. It is a woody-stemmed perennial that grows up to 20 cm in height and has light blue to violet flowers. This plant is often seen in cultivation and is popular for its slightly hairy leaves and beautiful flowers. It is best grown as an annual in colder climates and is well-suited for window boxes and containers in sunny locations with good drainage. Regular tip pruning can encourage new growth and flowering. It has been recognized by the Royal Horticultural Society with an Award of Garden Merit.
