Just to give you a heads up ...

I, too, got some unopened seed packets from another DGer who got them from Elizabeth. I think they might even be the same type of packets. I open one of them and planted one seed from that packet. What I got was not anything like the photo on the packet, but instead it was a Ipomoea hederacea. Nice species, but not a good one for me to grow here in Florida because it tends to be a little invasive in my zone. So, I am unsure if that was just a fluke or if the seed packets from Korea are not as strictly packed to ensure accurate cultivars. Some of the American seed companies have the same issues. You buy a pack that has a photo on it and assume that is what you are going to get, but instead you get something totally different.

It could be just a remote error in the packet I had. Either way, the seed sprouted promptly for me and was a very healthy and vigorous vine! Lots of pretty blue blooms, too!

And if anyone trades with me ... they may not get what they were expecting either, as many of my seeds are crosses with other MG vines. LOL!
