    • Thanks, Alyce and Mary. I save the seeds each year and grow more the next. The plants are very productive this year, as you can see.

  1. Gorgeous flowers! I have a trellis that needs something just like this, and I have tried several other vines but nothing has worked yet. It is on the north side of the house, so there is lots of shade. Maybe morning glories will work?

    • The north side of a house can present a challenge, depending on how much sun the flowers get. These flowers in the photo face west.
      My husband says that if the flowers are against a west -facing wall that they will bloom until mid afternoon. That’s about how long ours bloom. I takes until late July or beginning of August until the plants have matured enough to produce blossoms. Plant seeds quite thick to produce this volume of flowers.

      It’s worth a try. Want some seeds for next season?

    • Thanks, Carol.

      I didn’t know about morning glories when I was growing up. We had plenty of others, including hollyhocks that we loved.
