These are annuals, but readily self-sow for even more vines the following year!

These are quite vigorous vines, growing to 15-20 feet.  They are the most unusual morning glories I've grown with redish/purple fuzzy stems and dark green, deeply lobed leaves.  The vines are covered with lovely purple flowers every morning, but I must say you need to be an early riser to get the full effect of these blooms, as they fade quickly once the sun hits them. But, don't despair - the clusters of seed pods are almost as lovely as the flowers in shades of pinkish/purple and quite large to hold the very large seeds. These also seem to be resistant to rabbits, who happily cut my other morning glory vines, but never touched these.

I have found they need very little care and yield LOTS AND LOTS of blooms. They grow best in sandy average soil and in full sun. Easy and fun, even for new gardeners and children.  These took about 80 days to bloom, but have bloomed abundantly every day this summer.
