Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Description

  • Notes

'Bowles' is a V. minor cultivar selected for its large, violet-blue flowers and dark, glossy green foliage. Flowers are intermittent throughout the summer months. A low-growing, vining, creeping, evergreen groundcover well suited to larger areas, and probably best kept to shrub borders as it would overtake most perennials. Also nice in containers, as it has a trailing habit. Grows about 4 to 6 inches tall with an indefinite spread.
