7 plants in database

Convolvulaceae in this database spans zones 4-12 with 7 species, so design it as a guild component instead of a monoculture block.

Anchor it in the Ground Cover layer and pair with unrelated support species in other layers; if you save seed from multiple cultivars, isolate flowering plants to reduce accidental crosses within the family.
