Tropical Woody Morning Glories or Woodroses have trumpet-like flowers above decoratively dissected leaves similar to those of real Morning Glories (Ipomoea spp.), but unlike Ipomoea species, the flowers open during the day and the plants are mostly perennials with a woody base and somewhat woody stems. They are native of tropical and subtropical America and are easily cultivated as pot plants in any rich, well drained soil in a sunny spot throughout the year. Excellent in a warm wintergarden or heated greenhouse with a winter minimum of some 15°C with reduced watering. Soak seeds some 24h in warm water before planting. Use any rich, well drained soil and keep pots sunny at a minimum of some 20°C. Germination is over a longer period and may take up to one month. 7 seeds per package. |
