Morning Glory Seeds is one of the original Bavarian varieties of morning glory vines. It was nearly extinct but has made a comeback in recent years, and is a hardy and reliable climber that puts on a glorious show.
Grandpa Ott is absolutely stunning with large rich, royal purple velvety trumpet-shaped blooms that have a "star" with a pink throat. The flower seeds can be started directly outside in the spring.
