Default Ipomoea seeds

Hi all,

I have a friend who has asked me a question that I thought I'd pose to
those more knowledgeable than myself.

He has grown some Ipomoea (Morning Glory) this summer and was very
successful. As a consequence he has a mass of seeds.

If he saves these seeds to sow next year, will they come true to type?

I told him that I thought they would as long as they weren't F1 hybrids
(I don't know if you can get F1 hybrid Ipomoea).
Am I right in my opinion?

Any advice is very gratefully received.

Thanks in advance,


I usually get a few self seeders from the previous year. These have always
been smaller flowered and darker, closer to purple than blue. They are,
however, still very pretty and flower just as profusely given some good
weather, but they do seem to be a little more weedy/straggly.
