Description
Grow the ever so popular "Heavenly Blue" Morning Glory, from freshly harvested Ipomoea tricolor flower seeds. Heavenly Blue is the most common variety of Morning Glory climber available. Its trumpet shaped flowers bloom to a diameter of roughly 6 inches wide. Aptly named, Heavenly Blue Morning Glory will produce blue colored flowers along its extremely long, vining stems. Each vine can grow to a mature length of 7 to 13 feet long. The throats of its blooms will appear white with a yellow tint, displaying star shaped indentations on its saucer shaped petals.
This heirloom vine has been used for decades, to cover old fences with its attractive, spade shaped leaves and cheery flowers. It is also used on porches and balconies, covering railings, posts and pillars as well. Although Heavenly Blue Morning Glory is sought after by many gardeners across the world, you might be surprised to learn that in some states, it is considered an invasive species. You should consider checking into which varieties of Morning Glory plants are allowed in your state, if any at all. The plants themselves do not require much maintenance and grow vigorously when left unattended for weeks at a time.
Heavenly Blue Morning Glory is categorized as an annual flowering climber. Its leaves, flowers and vining stems will grow quickly from fresh Ipomoea seeds. Once established, the plants will bloom profusely through the summer months, later dying with the first frost. Seeds can be collected at the end of the season, once the flowers have dried out. The seeds can sometimes fall to the bare ground beneath, just before the first frost, allowing these beautiful plants to regrow the following season.
Grow Heavenly Blue Morning Glory plants directly outdoors to enjoy its masses of gorgeous blooms. Its sea of color will be sure to attract an array of beneficial insects to the garden, such as butterflies, bumblebees, hummingbirds & honeybees as well.
