Light. Plant in full sun. The flowers close in the evening and on cloudy days, and new ones open daily.
Water. Water regularly while it settles in. Once established it is drought tolerant.
Soil and feeding. It must have well-drained soil; soggy ground leads to fungal root rot. Raised beds, containers and hanging baskets also work well.
Size. Grows to about 1 ft tall, spreading into a low mound about 2 ft wide. For a mass planting, space plants 18–24 in apart so air moves and disease stays down.
Good to know. 'Blue My Mind' is an improved form with sky-blue flowers about 1 in across. Blue daze handles heat, salt and drought, and it looks good cascading over a wall.
