Morning Glory Tree?Bush

I bought this baby from a Master Gardener sale this summer.It was just a small stub and boy has it grown.I never new a Morning Glory made a Small Tree....

That's a real beauty you have there!!!☺

ive Never seen that coulr does it make seeds?

I'm in love with the color, is that picture true? Um, and what Paul said lol is it making seeds?

i think it may be Ipomea leptophylla

Not if those big leaves belong withe flower though, right? So a pic of the leaves would be great. Exactly how tall is this beauty?

your right Azz wonder if its a Hibisucs

Sure looks like a MG.

That is a very unique color.. nice photo.

Lynn, I have seeds of this if you want some... it's beautiful in person...
Brittany

Thanks Brit, but I have a big purple one :) Want that apricot one :) And I could have guessed you had seeds lol no plant, but the seeds.....

Mine are a light pink. there is a purple one too?

i have the purple one and one called idina blue but it makes no seeds

Love the color of those blooms. There is also a white blooming one.

gorgeous

her are the leaves and the trunk. It is a little over five feet tall.If you look at the trunk you c an see where they cut it back last year ,and that was how small it was when I bought it.I am wondering when will it get some seeds ?If it comes in white I would love to have one.

Here is another photo of future blooms. Arg, no seeds

you should get seeds this year keep and eye out after it flowers

Paul neither of yours make seeds? My pink has tons of seeds. Where did you get yours at P?

my purple one makes seeds but not the blue one i got the blue at a trade the purple one i grew from seeds

Can you post a picture of the blue one.

its not blooming now

I tried doing an internet search but I could not come up with a picture. Please post one when it blooms.

Hey Guys, I got two seeds.at fist I thought they were going to be blooms,but they turned brown and now I have two fuzzy little seeds.Anyone know what do I do next ? Do I just plant them or nick them or soak them.....?


linda

Well, since no one's stepping up to this, I'll say........if the color in those pics is how the flowers really look.....you need to just slip them in a baggie and send them to me lol

I am with you Lynn.

Linda, I'm curious how to germinate these, too. If you successfully germinate any seeds from this MG, could you put what you did in the PlantFiles?

I googled "Ipomoea carnea" + germination, and got 3 tidbits: nick, don't let stay wet too long and germinate at 20*C (= 68*F - from http://www.onlineconversion.com/ )

I don't know if you've seen Emma's germination technique, which is basically for Japanese MGs like I. nil and I. youjiro and some commonly grown MGs including I. purpurea. I really like the way she explains how to nick, so I'll give the link here:

Regarding not letting stay wet too long, I like what Phicks does - he puts sterile potting medium on the bottom, with 2" of Perlite on top. I'm thinking perhaps it might be a good idea to mix in a bit of gritty sand into that potting soil, as well.

Hopefully, someone with more experience will chime in, here. My track record in germinating some MG species has been frustrating.

i grew mine from seeds when you plant the seeds plant theam on there sides standing up cover with 1/4 soil dont soak the seeds before paul

I don't know about the other colors but the purple will root from a cutting placed in water in a week.

I never worry about technique with these seeds, they germinate so easy. 1/4" down like Paul said, I've soaked and not soaked, I would say the not soaked came out much better.

Riverland, do you know what would be best ..... green, semi woody, or woody stems for rooting?

Any of them will root. I rooted two green stems 2weeks ago in water and are now growing healthy in soil.. They root just like the brugs.

Well may be My red Ones Grow Difrent then the rest

woo hoo. I have seeds for this puppy from a trade, but don't know what color it is. I will try it out next year.

About this color...can the type of fertilizer change the color of a plant ? Also I read somewhere else that I lady had one of these and she only got two seeds.Is this true for all of them ? I'm sure hoping for more than two seeds.

I bet if you look at it now you find more pods forming now that it has started.

I don't know that fertilizer would effect the color.

I have one plant that is fertilized and another that is not and mine are both the same color and pretty much growing the same too..

Does anyone have a white one that they would like to trade ?
