MORNING GLORIES
Not to be confused with their pesky cousin,
bindweed, these annual morning glories are a
nostalgic symbol of the cottage gardens of the
“new world”. For twining up a porch, mailbox,
fence, etc. these heat-loving beauties are indispensable.
The bloom time of morning glories
depends on temperature. Blooms will unfurl as
the temperature climbs and then close up if the
sun gets too hot. Notice how morning glories
cheerfully stay open for prolonged periods on a
cloudy day. Soak seeds 24 hours and D.S. in a
hot spot or Germ. 65o-70o and Tr. Use individual
pots. 10 cm.
GRANDPA OTT’S
Ipomoea purpurea ‘Grandpa Ott’s’
A treasured heirloom brought to Iowa from
Bavaria and saved by the Whealey family of Iowa,
this carefree beauty boasts a profusion of small
deep-purple flowers with a red star and a glowing
pearly red throat.
