Convolvulus tricolor
(50 days) Open pollinated.

Annual. This bush morning glory charmed us in our 2023 flower trials! Shapely 18" tall bushes (that’s right, no trellising required!) are covered in blooms all summer. Each 2" trumpet appears hand painted, with royal blue exteriors and iridescent white-to-gold centers. Eye-catching in beds, borders and pots. If plants get leggy midsummer, shear them halfway back for abundant reblooms. Direct seed after danger of frost, or start indoors 4–6 before last frost. Space 6–8" apart in full sun.

Additional Information

Morning Glory

~25 seeds/g.

Annual. Easily grown climber with trumpet-shaped flowers provides color and shade, decorates fence or post.

Culture: Plant with eastern exposure for best results. Nick the seeds with a file and soak overnight to speed germination. Germinates in 2 weeks at 75–80°. Sow outdoors after danger of frost or indoors in peat pots as they resent transplanting. Overly rich soil will yield excess foliage and sparse blooms.

Flowers

All flower seeds are open-pollinated except where noted.

Days in parentheses after a variety indicate days to first bloom.
