This species is known as the Brazilian Dwarf Moring-Glory, as it comes from Brazil. Maybe the word of Hawaiian was put in there to emphasize how it is blue like the Pacific Ocean. However, it is not anymore Hawaiian than a popular cultivar of Ageratum (Flossflower). Poor Hawaii has suffered from so many introduced and invasive plants and animals causing trouble to its wonderful, unique native flora and fauna. Most conventional, classic garden centers and nurseries carry some of this tropical perennial used as an annual in northern climates. This cultivar of 'Blue Blaze' is more compact than the mother species that gets 9 to 18 inches high. This makes both a good bedding annual and a good pot plant. It can be brought inside in the winter to survive in a bright, cool room. It is a member of the Convolvulaceae, that is the Bindweed and Morning-Glory Family.
