This Bavarian heirloom boasts abundant oversized violet blooms and thrives as it climbs arbors, fences, or trellises, attracting hummingbirds with ease. Morning glory flowers unfurl with the morning sun and close at dusk, though their fleeting nature doesn't diminish their timeless appeal. Early Japanese and Chinese civilizations valued morning glories for their beauty and medicinal properties, while ancient peoples of Mexico and South America utilized the vines' sticky sap in latex production. The beloved "Grandpa Ott" morning glories trace their origins to "Grandpa" John Ott of St. Lucas, Iowa.

How To Grow

Sowing: In warm climates, seed can be direct sown in spring as soon as the soil reaches a temperature of 21-29 degrees Celsius. For faster germination, nick the seed coat with a sharp knife or soak the seed in warm water overnight. In cooler climates, the seed can be started indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost of spring; plant Grandpa Ott Purple Morning Glory flower seeds 1 centimeter deep and keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy until germination, which should take place in 7-10 days with adequate warmth. Transplant seedlings as soon as possible after germination, since they resent root disturbance; the soil temperature should be at least 18 degrees Celsius with no chance of frost.

Growing: These plants do well in well-drained moist soil, but also tolerate fairly dry soil; they prefer full sun. The vines grow very quickly, especially in heat; they will need significant support such as a fence or arbor. Without support, they will simply trail along the ground until they find something to climb. This plant self-sows readily, and attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. We cannot sell this seed to customers in AZ or MI.

Harvesting

These flowers are not suitable for arrangements and are most appreciated when left to bloom in the garden.

Seed Saving

Once the plant has finished flowering, collect the seed pods once their husks have turned black. Extract the seeds from the husks and store them in a cool, dry location.
