It's lovely. I would love to have this plant, and if your swapping these seeds please keep me in mind.

Hi Floridian!

Did you take this photo at the beach, or are you actually growing it?
If the latter, what kind of soil - beach sand?

This picture was either taken on one of our barrier islands turned state park, growing in full sun on a salty beach or at the Botanical Gardens in rich, composted, mulched soil. Looking closely at the picture I believe it is at the Gardens. I love it but don't grow it because it tends to be pretty aggressive here.

"... it tends to be pretty aggressive..."

Yes - the morning glories can be pains sometimes, can't they!
Oh well, at least they're beautiful pains... :)
