Morning Glory (Ipomoea Nil Rosita) - The Japanese started selecting morning glories in the 9th century, and this Rosita variety is one of their most stunning. Ipomoea nil Rosita, the Japanese Morning Glory, sports huge blooms with a pronounced unique star shape. This morning glory seed sports a combination of a red flower with white star and white edge. The extraordinary blooms are 5 to 6 inches wide! Morning glories are one of the most popular climbing vines grown from flower seeds.
Rosita morning glory, with its star-shaped blooms of which many will be semi-double, is a great addition to any flower garden. This extremely carefree and free-blooming climbing vine will bloom early and load itself with masses of attractive brilliantly colored red flowers all summer long. In a good summer will reach 9 feet tall when planted from morning glory seed, perfect for covering arbors, trellises and fences.
