Evolvulus is a low-growing, herbaceous plant native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas, where it thrives in open, sunny areas like grasslands, scrublands, and forest edges. Often appreciated for its ornamental value in gardens, this plant is especially admired for its strikingly delicate, funnel-shaped flowers, which commonly feature vivid blue or pale purple hues with a lighter or white center, lending a star-like effect to the bloom. The flowers are generally small, around 1 inch across, and open in the morning before closing by afternoon. Due to its resilience and tolerance to heat and drought, it is commonly cultivated in warmer climates worldwide.
