About this item

  • Morning Glory is one of the most well-known annuals in the summer garden. Give them a structure to climb, like a trellis, arbor, fence or pergola, and they make a truly glorious display!
  • An annual vining, climbing plant reaching 108 inches in USDA zones 3 - 10. Ipomoea nil is a variety from Japan, and this particular one is called Blue Picotee.
  • The color is a dark blue with a pronounced purple star and white edges, and the blooms measure over 5 inches across. Morning Glory also has lovely foliage, deep green, heart-shaped leaves that provide the perfect back-drop for the colorful blooms. Morning Glory seed has a hard seed coat.
  • Germination is usually within 21 days. In areas with a late spring, the seed can be started indoors and transplanted outside when the seedlings have 2 – 3 leaves.
  • Sowing Rate: 6 - 8 seeds per foot. To improve germination, nick the seed with a knife and soak the seed overnight in tap water. Start the seeds directly outside in a sunny location. Space the plants about 9 - 12 inches apart, cover with ¼ inch of soil and keep the seed moist.


Product Description

Blue Picotee Morning Glory Seeds

The Japanese have cultivated this spectacular Blue Picotee morning glory vine. It grows readily from seeds and is very rewarding to have in the landscape. Ipomoea Nil Blue Picotee sports huge star-shaped blooms that are dark blue with a purple star and a white edge.

How to grow Blue Picotee from seed:

Indoors, grow in loam-based potting compost (No. 2) in full light, with shade from the hottest sun. During growth, water freely and apply a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly. Water sparingly in winter. Support climbers and trailing species. Outdoors, grow in moderately fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. Shelter from cold, drying winds. Pruning group 11 for climbing species, in spring.

Morning Glories, such as this Blue Picotee strain, are annual flowering vines. The plants will die with the first fall or winter frost, but they can be regrown in the following season if their seeds are harvested.

Morning Glory plants love the heat of the summer and will prefer areas of direct sunlight: temperatures should be at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and soil should be average to sandy yet well-drained. The seeds should be watered daily until germination occurs, followed with less frequent watering afterward.

Beautiful summer vine blossom

The Blue Picotee will not disappoint: with a proper environment to climb, this variety of morning glory will grow up to 10 feet long and provide a brilliant covering for fences, trellises, and other garden structures.

These climbing vines will grow quite quickly within a single growing season: they produce deep green leaves and beautifully-colored flowers throughout the summer months.

All my seed took and I had so many plants I had to give some away and share these beautiful flowers. Within a few day they were growing. I plant them directly into my flower bed and then had transplanted some into pots. Great seeds and fast germination rate.

Buy these seeds, i've been scammed by 4 other companies who charged me $10+ for a small packet of seeds and using all the germination tricks I could learn about, still the seeds did nothing. But these Morning Glory seeds from Outsidepride germinated super quick and easily, by day 2 in a warm moist plastic bag they began sprouting and I moved them into soil and now 10 days later out of the 50 seeds I have about 20 growing vines that are happy in the sun now. So many other companies sent me seeds that did nothing, this was my last try at growing from seed and glad I tried with Outsidepride.

Too early to see flowers but plants are growing nicely! I soaked in water and planted straight in ground. The first time I tried a seed starter kit but that did not work. So planting directly into the ground - much more success!

I bought and grew these seeds last year. I would not describe them as a vigorous climber, more slow and steady. They grew about 1-11/2 feet tall and then stopped growing for the longest time. I was just about to rip them out of the ground when they began growing again. They did reach 8 feet by the end of the summer. I was looking forward to the spectaular flower. When this plant did begin to bloom it was not a double, but a single with a white edge. What I liked most about the photo of the flower was the white edge. I would have been satisfied with my plant as a single with the beautiful white edge. The white edge on my flowers were not impressive. I don't even know how to describe the white on my plants, but would try by saying there wasn't as much contrast between the flower color and the white wasn't as striking as in the photo. The white edge wasn't as thick as the flower shown in the photo. As summer progressed, the flower morphed more into a regular morning glory and the white edge disappeared completely. My plant never set seeds. I have not anticipated something so much and been so disappointed. I could have given this flower a lower rating, but am taking into consideration that all of the seeds germinated. I did nick the seeds with a knife a place them in a wet paper towel overnight before planting them.

After soaking over night the seeds broke open a little. I planted several of these but only about a fourth actually sprouted; of those about a third actually grew above 3 inches. Maybe it's my climate, but these tend to grow up to a few inches, then just sit there stagnant. After a month or two a few then exploded with additional leaves and grew up a trellis. It's been about 4 months and I finally got some flowers blooming. I am pleasantly surprised to see they are trumpet flowers, which hummingbirds love. I have already seen a few hummingbirds check out the flowers, and even try to get to them before they bloom. Amazing color! I hope they survive the winter or I will be planting more next year.
