A fast climber. It mainly blooms in the morning. The morning glory 'Knowlians Black' (Ipomoea) has extraordinary black-purple flowers with a strongly contrasting bright-coloured centre. What an eye-catcher in the flower garden! Or in a decorative flower pot. Sow the flower seeds from March (under glass) through July. Plant them outdoors after the last frost. The flowers bloom from July to September. The climbing plant grows to about 250 cm tall.
Space the morning glory seeds 25 cm apart. Space the rows at a distance of 25 cm. Plant at a depth of 0.5 to 1 cm. The Ipomoea grows best in full sun. After sowing, water the seeds adequately. The flower seeds come in a bag containing approximately 2 grams. This is enough to sow 10 square metres.
