Heavenly Blue Morning Glory

Ipomoea tricolor

Conventionally Grown

A classic flower of late summer, in a celestial blue tone.

The morning glory's strong vines grow steadily–but require a framework of support to reach their maximum potential–and its glorious-yet-ephemeral blooms remind us to never take love or beauty for granted.  And at its core is a seed that can adapt to any circumstance, self-sowing readily and thriving even in difficult soils. In fact, morning glories flower most when faced with distress: drought and low-nutrient soils lead to blooms in profusion. A late season bloomer-October in our region- the Heavenly Blue Morning Glory is a delightful pop of color in the Fall Garden. 

Morning Glories are Day Length Sensitive and this variety begins blooming as the days shorten and the nights get longer.

Made exclusively for The Olana Partnership. Morning glories still bloom in Olana's historic Mingled Flower Garden. Olana is the masterwork of Frederic Church (1826-1900), preeminent American artist of the 19th century, and the most intact historic artist's environment in the United States.

Growing instructions
Start indoors 4 weeks before last frost to ensure blooms in the summer. Score the tough exterior of the seed and soak for 24 hours, before starting them in pots. Transplant after last frost, when vines are just beginning to search for trellising; take care not to disturb the roots too much. Morning glories will climb on whatever you plant them near; they do well on fencing. Plant them on the north side of the garden to keep them from shading out other garden plants.
