Add a touch of elegance to your garden with Botanical Interests' Morning Glory Chocolate Seeds. These Japanese morning glories (Ipomoea nil) feature large, 4″–5″ chocolate-rose blooms with delicate white edges, creating a striking contrast against the green foliage.

Ideal for arbors, trellises, or fences, this plant is not only visually appealing but also attracts pollinators. Caution: most parts of this plant are toxic if ingested, so handle with care.
