In case I missed it somewhere already mentioned.
Ipomoea indica is a PERENNIAL so it would be best if you grew yours in a container and keep moving it to a larger as needed by the plant. After your plant multiplies enough, you can experience growing it in the ground as well. Of course, it won't survive your winter temps, but it would be fun to see how quickly it will bloom for you.
Another thing is that many Ipomoea indica plants do not produce seeds and some will abundantly. Also chances are greater for vines that do not readily produce seeds to grow as many different strains together as you can. My vines DOES produce seeds occasionally but I have learned to bag the pods because when they are totally mature they will spill directly to the ground without waiting for you to collect them as you do with most Morning Glories. I'll need to figure out a way to send you some of my Blue Dawn.

Be sure to let us know how your Blue Dawn does for you.
