Morning Glory Ipomoea Ruffled Red
A stunning variation to the usual morning glory flower, producing masses of small 1 inch brilliant red ruffled flowers with a white throat, absolutely stunning. The vine twists and climbs, needing support to around 5 ft with dark green pointed leaves. Less vigorous that some of its more thuggish cousins but ideal for a smaller trellis. Blooms continually July to September. Sun or part shade. Please note these are more temperature sensitive during germination that standard ipomoea’s and do need a warm sheltered spot to thrive.

- Soak seeds overnight in warm water for 24 hours before planting in early to mid spring under cover with warmth. Cover seed with 1/4 to 3/4 inch fine soil. Keep soil moderately moist during germination.
- These can be planted directly outside after the soil has warmed in early summer
- Thin to 6 to 8 inches when seedlings are 4 inches tall and acclimatise steadily outdoors after all danger of frost has passed.
- These will require support to ramble.
Do not over-water or fertilize. Plant in full sun in well drained somewhat poor soil. - This is a cultivated variety that does not spread or become invasive like its wild cousin and will die with the first frost.
