Everwilde Farms - 50 Grandpa Ott Morning Glory Garden Flower Seeds - Gold Vault Jumbo Bulk Seed Packet

This Bavarian heirloom features an abundance of oversized violet blooms. This robust vine will climb up nearby arbors, fences, or trellises, and is very attractive to hummingbirds. Carefree and easy to grow in average garden conditions. Morning glory flowers open with the morning sun and close when it sets. Though each flower only lasts for one day, their abundance and beauty have made them a garden favorite for centuries. Early Japanese and Chinese cultures especially valued this plant for its aesthetic and medicinal qualities. According to historical research, ancient peoples of Mexico and South America also used the sticky liquid of the morning glory vines as a crucial ingredient in the production of latex. Classic "Grandpa Ott" morning glories originally came from "Grandpa" John Ott of St. Lucas, Iowa.
