Found Blue Glory Vine today

12 years ago

Hey all

If you've never had this plant, it is a beauty and is mannerly. I have one I hauled in last winter, but I know someone who leaves hers in ground here in Arlington and it comes back up. Not sure about this year, but in years past.

Today I found it at my local nursery. HArd to find in recent years. Mine doesn't get any disease, isn't really a big favorite for bugs and it makes these gorgeous cobalt BLUE flowers with the trumpet like form.

If you're interested or never saw it here's a link. I got mine in a gallon size conatiner today for $5.50. Yea!

Here is a link that might be useful: Blue Glory Vine

I love this vine. It's just gorgeous! I planted one a couple of years ago but mine didn't come back the following spring.
They used to sell it at Walmart. It's worth trying again for sure!

It's beautiful, would love to find it after we finish the deer fence. Jim, that's a gorgeous picture.
