Found throughout the Mediterranean region, this very small plant is easily missed unless full of flowers. Many of this genus are problematic weeds which can be very difficult to eradicate from a garden. This species of convolvulus, obviously far less troublesome than many, is sometimes offered for sale as a garden plant by nurseries and garden centres.
