Morning Glory (Ipomoea Tricolor Heavenly Blue) - This popular variety can easily be grown from seeds. When people think of this flowering vine, they often think of Heavenly Blue with its intense sky blue blooms with white throats. The blooms are heavy from summer until frost, and it drops its own flower seeds to produce a display for next year's season. Typically, the flowers will open in the morning and then close again in afternoon. Heavenly Blue vine is perfect for covering unsightly buildings, tumbling over fences, or decorating any vertical garden structure from the mailbox to the lamppost.
