Cultural Care
C. 'Blue Moon' performs best in full sun with well drained soil. Although dry tolerant once established it is still recommended to give occasional deep waterings through extended dry periods. Pruning is not necessary although a light prune after main flowering period (ie. autumn) can help promote bushiness for the following season. An application of slow release fertiliser during spring will be beneficial to overall performance.

Can be used to fill the base of decorative containers holding standardised plants. Looks great spilling over the edges of a hanging basket. Can be slotted into any colour scheme whether bright or pastel. A complementary plant for its white flowering, shrubby cousin, Convolvulus cneorum 'Silvery Moon'.
