Convolvulaceae
Ipomoea tricolor 'Heavenly Blue'
Common Morning Glory, Grannyvine, Heavenly Blue Morning Glory
Nothing says summery and old-fashioned like the clear, sky blue flowers of ‘Heavenly Blue’ morning glory. This popular annual to short-lived perennial vine originates from the tropics of Central and South America. It is a heat-loving and vigorous twining climber with heart-shaped, medium green leaves. Throughout the growing season, its conical buds open in the morning to show off large, clear blue, funnel-shaped flowers with a white and yellow eye. Its prolific displays attract hummingbirds and butterflies.
Common morning glory grows best in sheltered sites away from high winds. It requires full sun and fertile soil with good drainage and grows best on trellises, arbors or fences. Plants will gently self-seed if allowed to.
