Description

The sky-blue Morning Glory 'Heavenly Blue' is a beautiful, climbing bindweed with beautiful light blue to violet blossoms. This plant originates from Mexico, where it grows perennially. As it's not hardy, morning glory is cultivated annually here.

The breeding stems from Great Britain, where the plant is known as morning glory and has a long horticultural tradition. The special characteristic of this climber is its blossom. The bright blossoms open at sunrise and are already withered at sunset. However, as it continuously forms new blossoms, the splendour doesn't come to an end until autumn.

Caution: The plant is poisonous in all of its parts!

Sowing and care

In temperate climates, morning glory is mostly planted as an annual plant outdoors. In the tropics it is perennial, it's therefore well suited as a creeping houseplant that lignifies over the years. Press seeds into start-up soil mixture and keep them warm. The ideal germination temperature is +20°C. The young plants should be hardened after Ice Saint's and then planted outdoors.

Ideal location: Full sun and wind-protected. Morning glory needs a climbing aid.

The best climber, I know!

I sow it every year and it has never disappointed me. The plant always forms a hedge full of blue flowers.

Ich habe sie direkt ins Freiland gesaet obwohl ich hier in Bulgarien auf einer Hoehe von 800 M lebe. Das Resultat mit Bluete ab Mitte August - Ende Oktober war spektakulaer!

Dies ist fuer mich bei weitem die schoenste Winde. Monate lang hatte ich taeglich hunderte 10cm grosse, fantastisch blaue Blumen an meiner Suedwand. Die Jungpflanzen wurden bei einer Hoehe von etwa 50cm beunreuhigend bleich. Einige Wochen danach fingen sie aber urwaldaehnlich an zu wuchern.
