Notes
'Heavenly Blue' morning glory (Ipomoea tricolor 'Heavenly Blue') is a vine for containers, cottage gardens, privacy screens, and accents. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Deer tend to pass it by. It grows fast, and its blue and white blooms draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds.
Pairs well with Soraya sunflower, Nimbus sweet pea, and Red Wings moss phlox.
