Ipomoea purpurea 'Heavenly Blue' is one of the morning glory kinds that is among the most desired after. Its buds are lengthy and tightly furled, but when the morning sunlight hits them, they gradually unfurl themselves into gigantic sky-blue trumpets with clear white and yellow throats. Each blossom only lasts for one day, yet new ones appear in rapid succession after it.
Although though it is technically a perennial plant, Ipomoea purpurea 'Heavenly Blue' is most successfully grown as an annual. It is simple to cultivate and can be planted directly where the flowers are to be produced, preferably in soil that is rich in moisture but has good drainage and is exposed to direct sunlight.
Seed Quantity 75 Seeds
Type Perennial grown as Annual
Genus Ipomoea tricolor

She is a creator of the best kind - her products reflect that 💛

And it arrived not only on time but full of love with beautiful planet friendly packaging. How many gifts can be buy where there is joy in the purchasing, the receiving AND in the anticipation for when the flowers actually appear.

It was estimated to arrive, a bit too late , as we were going away and wanted to give it to my sister in law, before we went.. a quick E mail to the seller, and it was dispatched immediately and arrived in time… excellent!!
I am amazed how quickly these have germinated. The first ones were showing after 4 days. Very happy with the seeds and the whole transaction. Thank you.
I'm obsessed with bishybarnabeescottagegarden seeds, it's like being a kid in a candy store , I love varieties of the flower selection, I always order the seed boxes because they are great value for money and there's always a cute surprise every time I open the box , love the presentation and iv planted so many seed this month so impatiently waiting for next spring 🤭
I’ve bought several packets of seeds from Bishybarnabeescottsgegarden. Always great quality and great service. Thank you again
From ordering, receiving my gorgeously wrapped box, opening to reveal copper coloured shiny tins with beautiful labels. To smelling the fantastic fragrance, I was overwhelmed with the seamless flow of this purchase. Highly recommended and I’ll definitely try out more flavours.
Ordered these as I saw one growing wild in my garden and thought was lovely. Seeds arrived very promptly, part of a small batch of various seeds, along with a free gift which was very much appreciated. Will certainly buy again and am looking forward to seeing the plants next year.
amazing germination on these seeds. looking forward to lots of beautiful spring flowers
Seeds sown directly outdoors last summer, all germinated and formed lovely silvery rosettes, and half have now also thrown up flower stalks and are producing stunning vivid pink flowers. I’m hopeful that the other half may do the same next summer. Great seeds, well packaged, excellent instructions - many thanks!
I've never grown Hesperis (sweet rocket) until this year, but Melanie's seeds were so successful and prolific, that I now have beautiful flowers wafting their amazing aroma around my garden...plus our honey bees are so happy 🐝 In fact lots of pollinators are visiting!
