Evolvulus chamaepitys, commonly known as Yellow Dwarf Morning Glory or Ground Morning Glory, is a perennial herb native to open, sunny habitats including grasslands, rocky hillsides, and scrublands across Brazil. It thrives in areas with sandy or stony soils, often in regions with a Mediterranean climate. This plant exhibits a low, spreading growth habit, typically reaching 0.1-0.5 feet (0.03-0.2 meters) in height, with a mat-forming tendency that makes it suitable for ground cover. The Yellow Dwarf Morning Glory produces vibrant yellow flowers throughout the summer, which are small but quite showy, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Evolvulus chamaepitys is valued for its drought tolerance and ability to thrive in poor soils, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, xeriscaping, and as a filler in crevices or between stepping stones. It requires minimal maintenance once established. Gardeners should plant it in full sun to encourage abundant flowering and ensure the soil is well-draining to prevent root rot. While it is not known for significant pest or disease issues, it can spread outside its native range, so it is crucial to consult local regulations before planting.CC BY-SA 4.0
