Seedless Perennial Morning Glory Ipomoea acuminata

 


What a show this beauty is! It's a perennial and it doesn't reseed. Ipomoea acuminata learii or Ipomoea indica.

Blue Dawn or Oceanblue Morning Glory is a vigorous twining evergreen perennial with heart-shaped or 3-lobed leaves and wide-funnel-shaped flowers to 3-4 Inches across, opening over a long period from late spring to autumn. They don’t really close up like annual morning glories, but stay open most of the day and change color on a daily basis, starting out a bright blue in early morning, then changing to a darker blue by mid-day, then to a purplish-blue and finally to a dark pink at the end of the day. At the end of the year when the weather is cooler, the blooms will remain open into the next day turning a bright fuchsia color. Spectacular! The Plant is sterile and does not produce seeds, like other Morning glories, but can set roots of branched fall to the ground. Zone 8-11. Heavy bloomer. Container suitable.
