Success with Ipomeas
 

Finall after 9 years of trying to grow them, the first flower on Tues
followed by one on Wed. Haven't actually seen them on all their'glory'
thopugh, as they were only starting to open as I left for work, and had
finished by the time I returned. Funny old orld gardening.

My first Heavenly Blue opened today!
I also had trouble growing them, they germinated fine but died the minute I
put them out of doors - too cold I guess.

I hate to say this but mine have been flowering for about a month. I
have no greenhouse but keep them indoors till June and then harden off
gradually. It is the cold nights that get them so I put them out by
day and in at night for a while. Try it next year.
Enjoy from now on.

Indeed.. I jsut so em straight into the troughs/pots/baskets that I want
them in.. THey come up when the temperature is warm enough for them..

Seem to be pretty tough around here.. THis year I have some self seeded
in the front garden (south facing).. Healthiest looking plants I ever
saw of Ipomea.. Big leaves, gorgeous flowers.
