The Blue Daze morning glory is a beautiful flower. I have had it growing on my property for over 30 years and it likes to spread if not attended to properly. I was unaware of some of the companion plants to pair it with. I have cone flowers growing in large clusters, this would be an ideal plant to give a greater panorama of color to my flower beds.
