Description

You don't have to choose one morning glory. Our blend of the best nostalgic favorites, and a stunning, new, starred variety lets you have them all. 'Heavenly Blue' with its large, sky-blue flowers is the classic, reliable, and vigorous heirloom from the 1800s. 'Pearly Gates' is a white beauty that won the All-America Selections award in 1942. 'Flying Saucer' appeared in 1960 with “out of this world” large, white blooms with radiating blue stripes. 'Grandpa Ott's' is a charming, old-fashioned Bavarian favorite from the 1870s that has flowers of royal purple stamped with ruby stars. 'Knowlian's Black' blossoms are a very deep purple accented with ruby stars. The modern 'Shiva' is white with a pastel pink star, elegant as a ballerina, and a true standout. Caution: Most parts of this plant are poisonous if ingested.
