Ladies and Gents,

Not as impressive as most of the morning glories here but here is Calystegia sepium x Calystegia pulchra, I selected for the largest pink blooms over about 5 or more generations the hybrid seems self-sterile, nice but very invasive and spreads by rhizomes. Calystegia is native to this area however the pink one has taken over where I live.

I sent some to Alberta, Canada and it survived -35 cel or more against the base of a wall.

This hybrid seems the most reliable "morning glory" here in England and the blooms stay open all day until the rain batters them :(

The bumblebees seem to like them though.

I try to also select for different 'star patterns' but the results are variable; I had one with just a light pink shimmer but it never came back

Enjoy!
