Convolvulus 'White Sensation'

The foliage is so good the flowers almost feel like a bonus 🌿

Family: Convolvulaceae • Pot: 15 cm • Height: 25 cm

Convolvulaceae Evergreen Light: full sun Care: easy Compact shrub

The Convolvulus 'White Sensation' is a bright silver-leaved plant with clean white flowering and a neat, low habit that works beautifully in sunny terraces, borders and Mediterranean-style planting. Its silky silver foliage brings structure and contrast even when the plant is not in bloom, while the white flowers look especially fresh and luminous in strong summer light. It is one of those plants that brings colour, texture and calm to a composition at the same time, without asking for difficult care in return.

Light

☀️ Plenty

Performs best in a sunny position.

Water

💧 Light

Prefers restraint and very good drainage.

Flowering

🤍 Generous

White funnel-shaped flowers from late spring into summer.

Character

🌿 Silver foliage

The foliage is one of its strongest ornamental features.

What makes it special

🤍 Clean white flowering that looks especially crisp against the silver foliage.
🌿 Silky silver-green leaves that bring brightness and texture through the whole season.
🪴 A compact, low habit that works beautifully in pots, borders and low planting schemes.

Ideal use

🪴 In pots and window boxes with a sunny exposure.
🏡 In low borders, gravel gardens and Mediterranean-style planting.
✨ Wherever you need silver contrast and clean white flowers without a heavy visual effect.

Where to place it

Place it in a very sunny position and in soil or substrate that drains sharply. It looks best in warm, bright settings, in raised beds, gravel gardens, path edges and containers that do not hold unnecessary moisture. It is a very good fit for Mediterranean-style spaces where light and clean foliage lines play a central role.

What to pair it with

With drought-tolerant plants and grey-green or aromatic foliage, so the composition stays coherent in light, water needs and texture.
With more upright or finer-textured forms, allowing it to work as a low, bright layer in the planting.
With plants flowering in purple, blue or soft pink tones, so its white bloom can brighten and balance the overall palette.

Role in a composition: the low, silver-leaved element that brings light, calm and clean definition without making the planting feel heavy.

Origin & identity click to read

Botanical basis: In garden character this selection sits within the profile of Convolvulus cneorum, a low evergreen shrub known for intensely silvery foliage and white flowering.

Plant profile: RHS describes Convolvulus cneorum as a small spreading evergreen shrub, while Missouri Botanical Garden describes it as a dense, mounding evergreen dwarf shrub. That shared profile is exactly what gives this plant its tidy, luminous presence in sunny planting.

Character of the selection: In trade, 'White Sensation' is presented as a compact form suited to borders, rockeries and containers, with silvery evergreen foliage and white funnel-shaped flowers.

Ornamental value: Its strength is not only the flowering but also the stable visual presence of the foliage, which works as texture and contrast in dry, bright, Mediterranean-style planting.

1) Substrate: Use a very well-drained mix. Prolonged dampness is the condition it dislikes most.

2) Watering: Water with restraint, allowing the substrate to dry slightly between waterings, especially in containers.

3) Maintenance: A light trim after the main flush of bloom helps keep it denser, tidier and more compact.

🔎 Detail	Information

💡 Tip: Give it the sunniest place you have and do not overwater it. That is when it shows its best shape, brightest foliage and cleanest overall look.

🤔 Did you know? On plants like this, the foliage is almost as important as the flowers. The silver colour acts like light inside a planting scheme and makes nearby greens, purples and pinks look even clearer.

Why you’ll love it info

🌿 Because the silver foliage stays attractive even outside the main flowering period.
🪴 Because it is excellent for pots, planters and low planting schemes.
☀️ Because it fits perfectly into bright, warm spaces with a Mediterranean feel.

📐 Its low, spreading habit makes it very useful as a bright filler layer in borders, gravel gardens and Mediterranean-style schemes.
