Morning Glory(Ipomoea purpurea). Annual. Morning glories are an old fashioned plant often seen twining their way around mail boxes, fence posts, or up trellis by a porch. They can grow to 10' and they open their funnel shaped flowers in the morning. After about 12, they start to fade, hence the name: morning glory. In the fall, when the weather is cooler, they often do not fade until late in the day. They prefer full sun, water when dry, and will re-seed themselves. The seed offered will produce the purple morning glory seen in the picture. Best sown in the place they are to grow as they resent root disturbance. The seed does need to be nicked and soaked over night in warm water before sowing for best results.
