Fothergill's Morning Glory Heavenly Blue Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Ipomoea tricolour, the quintessential, world-famous sky-blue Morning Glory.
• Plant Class: Half Hardy Annual, establishing with incredible speed from seed to deliver a heavy profusion of blooms within a single season.
• Captivating Colourway: Features immense, clear sky-blue trumpet flowers highlighted by a contrasting, warm creamy-white and yellow throat.
• Growth & Structure: Reaches a spectacular climbing height of up to 300cm (120in), using its twining stems to scale vertical supports rapidly.
• Vertical Garden Design: Highly versatile; perfect for clothing garden arches, trellises, obelisks, and fences, or allowed to trail elegantly from large patio pots and hanging baskets.
• Ideal Position: Thrives at its absolute best when planted in well-drained soil and positioned in a warm, sheltered spot in full sun.

Care Instructions:

• Sowing Location: For an early start, sow seeds indoors in individual pots of moist seed compost from mid-to-late spring. Alternatively, sow directly outdoors into finely prepared soil once all danger of seasonal frost has passed.
• Germination Tip: The seeds have a tough outer coat; soaking them in warm water for a few hours prior to sowing will significantly soften the shell and accelerate successful germination.
• Watering Requirements: Maintain regular watering during the early germination and establishment stages; once mature, water moderately, allowing the soil to dry slightly between routines.
• Plant Care: Ensure climbing supports are positioned early during the seedling stage. Avoid over-fertilising with nitrogen-rich feeds, as leaner soil successfully encourages maximum flower production over excessive foliage growth.
