OK I am now convinced I will plant one of my best plumies out back....can it take part shade?? I bet they will hate all the water I give my roses though.

I talked too soon when I said plumies loved me. Whenever I get a swelled head I am soon slapped back down. LOL Last night I was looking at my seedling rack and 2 pink ones I bought at a show, have gone soft. Not from the base but on the top. One actually was bent over. The base was still hard. What would cause that? They were the ones I spent more for too because they were rooted. Poo to me.

I have Ipomoea indica in a pot, Clare. It is so smart. For 2 years it was sending out runners from the back where I could not see it and across concrete looking for dirt. As soon as it found it it ran along the fence, rooting as it went. I live in fear some escaped to my neighbor's side and will soon devour us. Here is some that has totally covered a ravine near here. It is so seductive with its many and big blue flowers and how it changes colors, but that is just to lure you in.
