I planted blue silk morning glory seeds last year and I was able to only collect about 6 seeds before the hurricane killed my plant. Not one single one germinated. I guess I should have tried them three at a time so I would have another chance at it.

What a bummer....

How long does it take for them to germinate.? I have some that I soaked for 24 hours and them planted in peatpots. Some of my other seeds were already cracking and showing signs of life, but not the Blue silk. I sure hope at least one of my 6 seeds grow. It is such a beauty.

I didn't think Walmart carried those, who knew? :-)

I am not sure how long they take but I think mine aren't going to come up, its been over 2 weeks. I hope yours work for you. They are really beautiful. I wish I had taken a picture of them before the hurricane got em last year.

I really hope you have better luck.

I have a few spare Blue Silk I can include with your MG Co Op seeds Polarbear. I don't think Wal Mart carries them...I don't think anyone does anymore. Maybe Seedpicker is thinking of Blue Star or Flying Saucers?

Sandy,

I just found out that the "Akatsuki no Tsiuyu" I ordered in the Co-op is the Japanese version of Blue Silk.

If you don't want to part with yours don't worry. If you do and we can trade or something I wouldn't mind trying an experiment to see if they are different at all. I am sure they are going to be beautiful either way :-)
