Available for purchase are 15 seeds the favored Morning Glory Vine, Star of Yelta. This is a beautiful annual vine, perfect for any fence or trellis. Growing to over 10' in one season, it is amazing! Late summer into fall, the vine is covered with blue/purple blossoms with a ruby throat. Plant in full sun to part shade. They are reliable bloomers and self-seed, giving you years of enjoyment. They are very hardy and very little care is needed. I believe the "strong shall survive" in my garden. You will appreciate my motto!
