Ladies and Gents,

This one seems to be a nice mounded perennial and comes back on the edge of my rock garden where it cascades over the edge.

I have had to keep a layer of gravel and sand over the crown so that it survives the winter and some fleece to keep of the rain

I found a few mats of it growing in the hills above Kassiopi, Corfu.

I thought at first it might be a wild form of Convolvulus tricolor but it's not.

I tried as best as possible to recreate the natural conditions but there is no way I can get above 20 cel for very long here in the UK!!

Sadly Convolvulus althaeoides from Corfu died :(

Lovely color and plant. Is it a climber or more like the Ensign that just stands up?
