Convolvulus tricolor ‘Blue Ensign’, also known as Dwarf Morning Glory, is a charming annual or short-lived perennial (hardiness zones 9-11) flowering plant that belongs to the Convolvulaceae family. This variety is prized for its striking blue flowers with white and yellow centers, which bloom profusely throughout the summer. Native to North Africa and Southern Europe, Convolvulus tricolor ‘Blue Ensign’ is a popular choice for gardeners looking to add a splash of vibrant color to their gardens or containers. It typically grows 6-12 inches in height and spreads about 12-18 inches wide, making it ideal for edging borders or hanging baskets. These flowers bloom in early summer to fall and thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. The plant is easy to grow from seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost date or directly in the ground after the last frost date. They are relatively low-maintenance plants that require regular watering, especially during hot weather. Deadheading spent blooms can encourage continuous flowering. Convolvulus tricolor ‘Blue Ensign’ is also attractive to pollinators like bees and butterflies, making it a beneficial addition to any garden ecosystem.

    Not sure if this is the correct place to ask, but you seem to be knowledgable about the flowering plants.

    Most likely these two plants Lily of the valley and this flowering bonsai tree may share the same chemistry.

    Which fertilizer / condition do you recommend to bloom a flowering plant more? 

    Lily of the valley typically doesn’t need any fertilizer unless you have poor soil. If your soil lacks nutrients, you can add a slow-release granular fertilizer in the spring. For Bonsai plants, there is usually specific fertilizer for those plants.

    Wow, I never realized how rich and diverse the symbolism and mythology behind anemone flowers are! Their vibrant colors, cup-shaped blossoms, and unique central cluster make them truly captivating. It’s fascinating to learn about their association with love and protection against evil.Here is more information.

    Yes, they are beautiful flowers.  The link did not have anything to do with anemone flowers, so we did not include it.
