‘Kikyo Snowflakes’ is a gorgeous Japanese morning glory (Ipomoea nil) strain with pointed petals, giving the bloom a starry outline. The petals are a deep blue to purple-blue at first, sometimes taking on a magenta touch as they age. There is also a bright white edge that spokes down toward the bloom center. The exact colors and markings vary from bloom to bloom and day to day, depending on the weather conditions (sunny vs cloudy, cool vs hot).
You’ll grow this for the beautiful flowers, of course, but also appreciate its thick, deep green foliage. I’d say the vines reached about 8 feet long. I had mine on a 5-foot-tall section of fence, and when they reached the top, the vines cascaded back down, creating a dense, flower-filled screen. The deep purple seedpods are attractive too. Full sun. Annual.
Collected in October 2022. At least 8 seeds. One packet per customer. Be aware that these seeds are open-pollinated, and I do grow other morning glories, so there is a possibility of some genetic variation. I do try to keep the various strains well separated, though, to minimize the chance of crossing.
Please read the germination information as well before ordering.
