Morning Glory - Heavenly Blue
The Morning Glory Heavenly Blue, 'Tpomoea tricolor', has glorious 4 to 5 inch sky blue flowers. They are called morning glory because blooms open in the cool of the morning. During the fall, flowers open all day. The flowers of the Heavenly Morning Glory are 4 to 5 inches wide and are sky blue with a white throat. . They will bloom from summer until fall frost. The Heavenly Blue Morning Glory does not like to dry out, so water frequently. Morning glories seem to bloom earlier and with more blooms when they are constricted to a pot. Plant in the spring after the last average frost date. Plants started too early are less vigorous than those started later. This excellent vine will cover fences and trellises, grow as ground cover, or hang in large baskets or pots. ... more information
Corn - Honey & Cream The Corn Honey & Cream, 'Zea mays var rugosa', is excellent for small gardens and short growing seasons. If we had to choose two vegetables that were much better home grown than bought from a store, corn and tomatoes would be our choice. Plant in the spring, a week or two after the last spring frost or when the soil is warm. Successive plantings in two week intervals will produce a much longer cropping season. Harvest the ears when the husks are dark green and the silks are brown but not brittle. |
