Morning Glory SEEDS ‘Scarlet O’Hara’ (Ipomoea nil) FLOWERS VINE Caribbeangardenseed

Morning Glory vine is perfect for covering unsightly buildings, tumbling over fences, or decorating any vertical garden structure from the mailbox to the lamppost.

Morning Glory ‘Scarlet O’Hara’ is a twining vine that has deep purple-scarlet flowers with a white throat. It is a tender perennial with large, funnel shaped flowers and heart-shaped leaves. Flowers open in the morning and last only one day. Plants bloom mid-summer to early fall. They can be planted on trellises, arbors, lattice or chain-link fences or used as a ground cover. Plants do best in full sun with moderate moisture and well-drained soils. ‘Scarlet O’Hara’ was an All America Selections winner in 1939.

. The blooms are heavy from summer until frost, and it drops its own flower seeds to produce a display for next year’s season. Like most Morning Glory, the flowers will open in the morning and then close again in afternoon.
