| I grew this awesome vine from a seed mix I bought from an eBay vendor who seems to have stopped selling out of Japan. It has the darkest flowers I have ever seen on a morning glory flower. That is why I called it Black Holes after the astronomical black hole phenomena. The flower photographs with some blue in it, but in real life, it is darker than the pictures:
The leaf is a small "orthodox" shape, unvariegated but does have a dark edge.

| OOOHHH!!! I really love that M.G. How tall does it get? I am a Morning Glory fanatic with limited luck getting them to perform well. |

| Hi thistle, It is first year I am growing it. It is not as vigorous as say Ipomoea purpurea vines. I keep my vines controlled by wrapping the leading end of the vine around the trellis. It seems happy to comply with my requests. LOL |

| That's a nice blue but what I really like is the foliage. I've never seen one with a dark edge like that. |

| I had this vine growing in an 12 inch pot, and today I transplanted it, trellis and all, to a larger container. It was very rootbound. I hope it will start making more flowers now that it has more room in which to spread out its roots. I looked at it a few hours after being transplanted and it seems happy, leaves still turgid and flower buds still hanging on the vine. I was hoping the act of being repotted would not shock it. |
