I started Heavenly Blue from seeds and thought I'd see some flowers by now, what do the experts have to say :>)
Thanks
Christine

Christine - I'm no expert, but I didn't start getting blooms on my HB's until they were about 4'.

Christine - You vine is lush and beautiful! :-)

If you haven't already done so, you might try fertilizing them with Bloom Booster (by MiracleGro). It seems to really kick-start the blooms on my vines!

Christine, I'm down here in Philadelphia and I usually see most of the HB blooming best towards the end of the summer. I would give it a few more weeks for your best blooms. Always one of my favorites in the summer when some things are dying down!!

Heavenly Blue was one of my first ever vines to grow. You will pass out at the intense blue with yellowish tube...it will look dyno-mite against that nice white trellis!

luvsgrtdanes, I can only pray mine will be that intense in color. Now how do I collect seeds for next year :>) I've already added Flying Saucers for my list for next year...

How beautiful!!! I have heard when the vine is in full bloom that it is breath-takingly gorgeous!

Go up to the sticky thread and there is detailed information about seed collecting! I don't know how well it self-pollinates. Maybe someone else here will. Enjoy your beautiful new vine!

The seedpods will eventually turn a crispy brown and that is when the seeds are fully ripened...
