Morning Glory (Ipomoea Nil Chocolate ) - We have the Japanese to thank for this chocolate morning glory that is easily grown from seeds. The Japanese started selecting morning glories in the 9th century, and this chocolate variety is one of their most stunning. Ipomoea nil, the Japanese variety, sports huge blooms, 5 inches wide, with a unique color ranging from rose to light brown, and all the blooms have a white throat. Some of the flowers will be completely rose-chocolate and some will have a lovely white picotee edge, adding even more interest to this unique variety. Chocolate is an extremely carefree and free-blooming climbing vine that will bloom early and load itself with masses of attractive milk chocolate colored flowers all summer long.
