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.
HEAVENLY BLUE
Ipomoea tricolor
Truly iridescent sky-blue 7 cm trumpets with white-yellow throats.
The colour becomes mesmerizing in the twilight hours when whites and
bright blues are at their most radiant. Introduced in the 1930’s.
Ht. 3 m.
