Trumpet

Uploaded: July 29, 2012

Description

This speedy climber is the ultimate in old-fashioned charm. Vines grow 10 to 20 feet in a season. Morning Glories have dark, heart-shaped leaves and produce breath-taking trumpet flowers up to 3 inches in diameter.

The fragrant flowers unfurl to greet the morning sun, then close up in the afternoon. Colors include white, red, pink, purple, blue, and bicolors. Give your Morning Glory plant something to climb up. They will entwine themselves around obstacles. They are perfect growning on a fence, lamp post or trellis.

Morning Glories have few problems with insects and disease.

May Your Day Be Filled With Beautiful Flowers!!<:))
