Ipomoea purpurea 'Caprice' – Morning Glory
Morning Glory Caprice Seeds | Sky Blue Violet Star Climbing Flowers
Ipomoea purpurea 'Caprice' is a stunning, fast-growing annual climber admired for its beautiful sky-blue, trumpet-shaped flowers decorated with a striking violet-purple star. Each delicate bloom features a contrasting star-shaped pattern radiating from a pale centre, creating a spectacular display against the plant's lush, heart-shaped green leaves. Growing up to approximately 300 cm tall, 'Caprice' is an excellent choice for transforming fences, trellises, pergolas and garden arches into colourful summer features. Its vigorous, twining stems quickly climb suitable supports, while the abundant flowers bring a fresh, elegant appearance to cottage gardens and sunny outdoor spaces. The blooms typically open in the morning, creating a beautiful display throughout summer and into early autumn. Why You'll Love It

● Soak seeds in lukewarm water for approximately 12–24 hours before sowing to help soften their hard seed coats and encourage germination. ● Start seeds individually in pots to minimise root disturbance, as Morning Glory develops a relatively sensitive root system. ● Provide a trellis, netting or other climbing support early, allowing the twining stems to establish naturally. ● Choose a warm, sunny position and avoid excessive fertiliser, which can encourage leafy growth at the expense of flowers. ● Water during prolonged dry spells and remove unwanted seed pods if you wish to limit self-seeding in the garden. |
