Sazanami Japanese Morning Glory

Sazanami is a Japanese Morning Glory that is an ipomoea nil variety. It is a vine that grows to 8 feet tall, and has quite lovely variegated leaves with white coloring mixed with the green. But the Flowers are magnificent, in the fact, no two are alike! Every flower, which it will provide, has many blooms and the flowers themselves are quite large, larger than many varieties of morning glories. The flowers are about the size of a Coke can. The colors vary from light purple to light blue, dark purple to dark blue, and white specks tossed in randomly. The darker shade is like a bicycle spoke inside the flower with a soft white to soft pink throat. These are my own seed because I LOVE growing my Japanese Morning Glories. So many intricate designs and intense coloring in such a fragile-looking flower.

I always wait to see what blooms open daily, they are just magical art every morning waiting for you!

Some interesting info I found on them:

In many cultures, they are seen as a representation of enlightenment and spiritual awakening. Morning glories are often associated with the concept of growth, both physically and spiritually. Just as these flowers open up to greet the new day, they remind us that each day is an opportunity for personal growth.

 

Morning glories were originally introduced to Japan as a medicinal plant, laxative to be precise, some 1200 years ago. Their effective yet ephemeral blossoms, however, made the annual plant a popular ornamental container foliage. Their rise to stardom comes in the late Edo period when morning glories suddenly experienced a mutation. The new generally non-seed-bearing mutant strands produced a range of spectacular and some most peculiar flowers (and indeed even curious vines and leaves). To capture the cacophony of strange mutant morning glories, records were made in copious amounts compared to other botanical records by enthusiasts with many containing illustrations.
