I just got these - the flowers are hot pink with a red star. Is there anything I need to be aware of if I want to save this seed after it blooms? Will they cross pollinate with regular morning glories planted nearby or stay true to the original seed?
Many thanks for any help with these questions. (As you can tell, I'm a novice.) ;-)
I meant to add that this is an heirloom seed and not a hybrid. :-)
ooo those are nice would love to have some seed when you get some. do not know much about morning glories but it is likly they will cross with other varietys that are close by
That looks like the crimson rambler?? maybe? I could have sworn I read that morning glories generally do not cross... but I don't know where in the heck I read it. I think it was on one of the morning glory sites. I would grow them on their own trellis or pole anyhow. Don't plant different ones mixed in with them. If you have different kinds a few yards away I wouldn't worry about them crossing. It could happen but I think the chances are kinda slim.
Troy - I have some seeds of one that is just about the same color as this. If you want a few e-mail me.
love the color!
Oh that so beautiful, I love that color would love to have some seeds if anyone have some. If do email me to let me know... Thanks~
Redrose & Troy - I'll try planting it separately (thanks Poppysue!) and will be glad to send you seed later this summer.
RedRose - I'll send you some of the seeds I have. I think I still have your address somewhere....
Those are crimson rambler and mine came back true from last year and I have plenty of seeds Redrose if you want for sase...just give me an email for addy!
Cheers,
Rebecca
Oh what a pretty color. any seeds for these out there?
Beautiful! I have a couple new trellises and one is just begging for a few seeds if anyone could part with a few. I'll beg too!
Moogie and poppysue, would love to have, thank you so much both of you and will be waiting ~ =)
Crismon Rambler, thank for giving the name of this morning glory so pretty.
Oh Moogie those are beautiful. I would love to have a couple of seeds when you get some, if you don't mind :)
Poppysue, You got my addy? Let me know... Thanks and you Moogie? Email me~
OOOOOoooooo - Could I do a SASE too? Gosh any of you guys doing the seed thing for newbys is great - but these in the thread are beautiful! Please? Pretty please?

I am sorry to say that I had really bad luck with these seeds. I planted 8 of the 10 and gave 2 to my daughter. NONE of the 8 came up - and I've always had good germination with morning glory seeds. In fact, I have THOUSANDS of seeds that have come up from last year's vines, and also had 15 out of 18 moon vines germinate. My daughter hasn't planted her 2 yet - but I don't hold much hope - even with jiffy pots.
Anyway - this was an expensive disappointment (Ebay purchase) and I'm sorry I won't have any to share ... or enjoy. :-(
BOO HOO =,( that is ok and understand. Hope someone will send you some seeds and me too. =)
Redrose - I was sure I sent you some seeds in the last batch I sent you. I probably called them "Crimson Pink" on the package. Are you sure you don't already have them?
No Poppysue, I am "Honest" I don't have this one seeds.
Ok - you have mail.
Thank you for considering me! I am sorry that your seed did not germinate, truly this would have been a joyful plant to have in bloom.
Suzy
