Introduce a splash of majestic royal purple to your garden with the Grandpa Otts Morning Glory, a time-honored variety of Ipomoea purpurea. This vintage bloomer flaunts delicate, velvet-petaled, trumpet-shaped flowers in dark blue-violet, beautifully contrasted by a bright rose star and pink throat. This stunning climber is a proven eye-catcher when grown against a fence or trellis, perfect for turning any space into an old-fashioned garden haven.
Grandpa Otts Morning Glory is a versatile, no-fuss beauty. It thrives in full sun, flourishes in well-draining soil and dry conditions, and isn't picky about overly rich soil. In fact, it even welcomes colder climates by easily reseeding itself. This vigorous climber starts its bewitching floral display early in the summer and lasts till the first fumes of frost.
Enhance your climbing structures and add height to your landscape with this robust climber that easily scales 8-10 ft up arbors, fences or any support. Its soft stems are engirdled by lush green, heart-shaped leaves, creating an emerald tapestry against the sturdy structure. In morning light, the trumpet-flowers unfurl the depth of their velvety purple and close down by the afternoon, hence their resonating name, Morning Glory.
Sow the seeds after the last spring frost or start the nursery 4-6 weeks before planting outdoors. Grandpa Otts Morning Glory is adored by wildlife, attractively luring butterflies and hummingbirds whilst repelling hungry deer. Not just a climber, it's equally dramatic in containers, hanging baskets or as enchanting ground cover. Note that while it self-seeds readily, it does not aggressively invade your greenspace.
