Notes
'Scarlett O'Hara' morning glory (Ipomoea nil 'Scarlett O'Hara') is a vine for containers and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 2, or down to -50°F (-46°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It climbs up to about 10 feet tall, so give it a trellis. Butterflies and hummingbirds visit the blooms. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Spider flower, Victoria Blue salvia, and Aureola Japanese forest grass.
