Hi!
I Just found this place !!
LOve it!

I have planted some B.P seeds and they are growing, but they are tiny in comparison to the wild' M.G's in the garden, -I guess I could got out and take a pic of the seedlings if anybody wants to see 'em, they are not anywere near 'Willowwasp's plants..
What could I expect from this plant? I live innercity Chicago and was hoping it not only get large enough to cover my hideous fence but that I'd get a abundance of flowers for a long time..

Does anybody have any experience's with this version of Morning Glory's?
how strong sun does it want?
Flowerbeds or up on the deck?
Is it producing true seeds?

Are the seeds i ordered this year be any good for next?

thanks, KK

Ps, I also am trying the red version and something called handle bar ? MG's
the lowgrowing kind, too early to tell, but the leaves have pretty patterns..

Kerstin, post a photo so we can see what you are talking about, what are BP's . I'll bet it is pretty and I would love some seeds later if you should get some.
As far as sun and such as that I would just give it morning sun and afternoon shade if you can. That seems to be good for just about everything.

Hi again,
well summer is over and I DID forget follow my posting , sorry, With BP I mean Blue Picotee..
solid blue with a stripe of white..
they did well, bloomed up until last week when it seemed to give in to the cold,
They were very slow to take off and they never got that big, we had a weird cold summer this year so I am thinking it could have been that, I'll try again nxt year..
Right now, I am trying to find some helleborus, and it seems near impossible.
Halloween is around the corner.. hm I like it but I don't like it, soon all will be covered in snow
sigh..
have a nice fall everyone.
