Ipomoea Nil - Kikyo Snowflake Japanese Morning Glory seed

Ipomoea Nil - Kikyo Snowflake Japanese Morning Glory. This is a vine that I grow, it is rare and so easy to grow from seed. To me it is one of the most impressive Japanese Morning Glories I have grown. It blooms consistently daily with flowers that stop you in your tracks to look at the blooms. If you ever grow a morning glory, grow this one, you will not regret it. Kikyo Snowflake is one of the most strikingly beautiful Japanese morning glories. It has a color contrast where the dark blue/purple is outlined by white, and the center of the flower is a darker pink. Many Japanese Morning Glories have a picotee edge to them, but Snowflake has much more color and creates a white star, where the blues and purples surround the white. Each morning the vine is filled with new blooms that greet you in the early morning. I love to learn tidbits of plant origins, and I have read that in Japan many centuries ago the Master gardeners would try to create beautiful flowers for the Emperor to impress and please him with their new creations, this vine was one of those such flowers. Morning Glories have been around since around 900 a.d.  The plant is primarily cultivated in Japan and is still grown there today and offers hundreds of varieties. This vine can grow 10-12 feet. It is easy to grow and generally blooms within 6 weeks from germination.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike!  There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!

SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!

ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.

DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.

Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
