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. Trevor East Yorkshire (ps sowed May planted out in early June once night mins were consistently over 10C) --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

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. Pam in Bristol |

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.
