pretty, pretty, pretty

I got this earlier in spring. Forgot about it and didn't have a name-thank you Cala- Very pretty bloom. Not hardy here. Hardy zone 10-11. Ipomoea carnea Morning Glory Bush
Something else to dig up in fall!!!!

I love their pink color and the fact they stay open all day!

That is pretty!!!!!!

Doc, I have a plant you can dig up when you are here. It buded for me this year, but the grasshoppers ate the buds. I think it needs a little more time than I can give it in my zone.

Bward, would you by chance have gotten any seeds from it? I would love to trade you anything for some of them!

Ohiobreezy,it is easy from cuttings and there should be plenty of those available in about a month.
Bward,mine SOMETIMES come back in the spring.I take cuttings just to be sure.

Very pretty Barb!

gone2seed: thanks for the info, never seen this one before and would be interested in trying it.

All I can say is WOW....Beautiful flower...... :o)

Hi Barbara, You are not too far from me, if you will cut it back before the first frost and place the stalks in a bucket of water just like brugs, they will root and you will have plants to set out in the spring.

If you have some extra cuttings, I would love to have a couple of them Bward........ :o)

I have two bushes this year that are from cuttings last year. I hope I can catch them before the frost hits them. I should have lots of cuttings too.

Sounds great Bee, Let me know when they are ready.... :o)

Sure will.

Hey Bward, that cutting you sent me week before last....it rooted already........boy that was quick.....thanks so much.... :o)

Does it produce viable seeds?

Me, me, me............jumping up and down here. Would love a start or seed for this, PLMK if you have any left.

WillowWasp, I see you already have one. Thats great. I have only cut one limb off but will cut all of them before a frost. Lilypon, mine has not made any seed last year or this year so far. I have been told that they do make seed though. I know a cutting is a sure thing. Mine have lots of blooms on it yet to open.

I got two seeds from mine last year and this year we had a frost before it even bloomed. It was a plant that I held over. Think my 2 seeds went to Evert. Mine got really tall and since it didn't have time to bloom this year, I have to give up on it. I need performance and it wasn't doing it up here where we have shorter summers. Very nice pictures folks!!

Brugie, How big were the seed and where were they? Are they in a pod? I just don`t know what and where to look for them.

What is the best way to take cuttings and root them from this plant? I have one and would like to winter it over here in 6b. did put it in the shade and do think that is why it is just now getting ready to bloom, but feel it is worth one more year of trying.But next year in more sun. Was going to give up on it till I seen this post.

Bward, you are so lucky to have those beautiful blooms!!!!just love the color!

miss, mine are in full sun. To take cuttings just cut the limb off and cut it up into about 8 inch length and be sure to keep them upright. Place in a clear container of water and they will root fast just like brugs. They will bloom the first year from a cutting. Hope this helps.

If anyone does get seeds I would like to give it a try.
This year was a horrible growing year...would it bloom
if it was brought inside in the fall Brugie?

busybee yes it does help... thank you! :)
think I goofed puting them in a shadey spot.

Barb, mine has come back every year for the past three years, but now J.T. has me worried - if his sometimes does not come back, mine is going to sooner or later not come back. Guess I had better take cuttings.

Roz, Where have you been? Emailed you-how is foot?

Roz,your area is slightly warmer than mine.It may be just enough to make the difference.

Pretty Pretty Pretty!! I've never seen pink before!

Hi Barb and JT! Have not talked to you two for a while! Barb, I didn't see your email, but the grandkids have been on the computer and I let one of their friends use my web address to get a giga pet or something like that so it must have been deleted! Busybee, what else can just be put in water like the morning glory bush and brugs? That is my kind of propagating! I will have some too for anybody who wants them. I love my plant, thank you Glory!!

Hi Roz,
I do Althea, Confederate Roses, Begonias, jews, red leaf Hibiscus and others. I try one in water and one in dirt or sand to see if they will root, whichever does the best and fastest is the way I go. Some take longer and need to be kept in fresh water.

They produce a little seed pod just like other MG's do. Just takes a long time. As for bringing it inside.....not here. Mine was too tall. I did keep a cutting last year so I had a good start this year, but it just didn't work for me. I can't waste the space next year, so I let mine go. Wish I could help you out more with this one. It is a pretty bloom. Oh yes, the grasshoppers loved it this year too.

busybee, where is Kentwood LA. By the way, pretty picture.

Very happy to have this one now,Thanks Shirley!
And thanks for rooting info Busybee.

Barbra,
I am south west of you. North of Hammond La. and South of McComb, Ms. in the middle near Amite,La.

Barb,
Most of my Morning Glory trees return in the spring....I always take a few cuttings just to make sure.

Do you have different colors Glory?

Mine is just one stright shoot going up. Will it get bushy?

Busybee, yours is amazing. SoO many buds. How tall is it?

Kell, One is about 8 ft tall and the other one is about 4 1/2 feet tall.

Maybe I should cut the top of mine off to get it bushy?

busybee, thanks for the info, I gave it a try with cuttings last week. well they have roots already!!!! COOL
now next years garden will have them and not just one, as this years had.
now the next question, how long do I wait to put them in soil?

miss, I had potted mine up and kept them in the GH until spring.
