This fresh-coloured Morning Glory looks striking when twining through shrubs, hanging from baskets and window boxes or climbing trellis or obelisks in the garden. Easy to grow, produces flowers all summer.
Sowing Info
Soak seeds overnight in tepid water before sowing, 6mm (1/8in) deep, in free draining seed compost. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag and place at 20-25?C (68-77?F) until after germination which takes 7-30 days. Do not exclude light as this helps germination.
Growing Info
Transplant when large enough to handle into 13cm (5in) pots of loam-based soil. Grow on in cooler, well lit conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart. For pot plants, plant into loam-based soil in 20cm (8in) pots. Grow on with plenty of light, but shade from direct sun. Remove spent flowers regularly.
