Grandpa Ott's Morning Glory

Beautiful, My Mother always had these on the finch the first thing of Beauty when We open are Back door in the mornings, I have kiap the tradition going in My yard, They are so beautiful and refacing to look at. Thanks' to My Mother for showing Me the beauty of life Now My Grandson is growing these in His garden of flowers.

This produces the most beautiful morning glory I have ever seen. The color is stunning and the photos don’t do it justice. It’s this spectacular purple/blue that can only be described as regal. A few pink ones popped up, too, what a treat!

My neighbor gave me a cutting from his beautiful plant. I was so excited to finally have my own plant. By the second year, it was encroaching on my neighbor plants. By the third year, it was all over my entire yard - trees, roses, shrubs, lawn. I have tried to eradicate it but it is tenacious. Be careful where you plant it!

Beautiful, lovely. A show stopper. I do not have the problems with morning glories that some people have. I am in Minnesota. I mulch my garden every year. They don't self seed for me because I mulch.

While they are pretty, they are a noxiously invasive weed that chokes out native plants. Please, research your purchases prior to making them and avoid noxious weeds such as this! It shouldn't even be sold, in my opinion.

It seems important that I write here to warn. This "plant beast" can take over your yard and trees. At least here in Southern California! Somehow this plant escaped a pot. Before I knew it. It was covering one side of the yard including trees. Some have told me that they did not even plant it. (Birds dropped the seeds.) Seeing the flowers, some comment how beautiful they are. I would only plant Grandpa Ott's Morning Glory if you surround them with cement!

I very much appreciate heirloom seeds and seed savers, however I was shocked when I just saw these seeds on the site. We have been fighting this uncontrolled
plant species in our yard in Michigan since we moved into our home. It has invaded our gardens growing long roots underneath our grass and popping up wherever it can. We've not found a way to remove it and it keeps extending into other parts of the yard.

Seed Savers Response: Morning glories have a tendency to heavily reseed if the seed pods are not removed after flowering. For best results only allow a select number of pods to ripen that you plan to harvest for seed.

Planted these last year along a fence. They came in slow--in part due to deer eating them--but finished the season strong in October. We had many colors other than purple: light pink, pinkish red, scarlet, etc! As noted elsewhere, never plant this unless you're ok with it coming back forever.

high quality and i love this shade of purple i really hope everyone could own a wonderful plant like this

Stunning flowers, superb climber. Healthy. Great germination.
But be very careful.. they will spread everywhere if you're not aggressive on picking the seed pods off. Planted these 4 years ago and I'm still finding volunteers; not just in my garden where they were planted, but also 100+ feet away starting to grow up trees, on fences, etc. BEWARE.. they're a chore to get rid of.

Lovely and striking morning glory-not the most prolific morning glory bloomer I've seen, but I still love it.

This morning glory loves Southern Wisconsin! It reseeds every year and grows vigorously. I keep needing to make a taller trellis! The flowers are beautiful and I get lots of complements growing them over a wall in the front yard.

The only thing that controls this plant is minus 20 degrees for a few months of the year.

I love these! They are heavy self-seeders, which I love and have no issue with at my home in Pennsylvania. Beautiful blooms and gorgeous tight buds. A favorite of mine every year.

In 2021 I noted a volunteer with heart shaped leaves growing in a crack in the sidewalk. I took some seed and next season planted them in containers. Grew well and from one shallow hanging container reached out to the electric and telephone feed into the house and up and away. The next year, out over the street and into main lines. In other pots fronting the street they filled 2'x6' trellises and reached yearningly towards other possible projections. Collecting & cleaning seed in the Fall yielded 2 quarts of seeds. This year they are being introduced into a "Dead Zone" of lead contaminated soil where in company with Sunflowers they will be lifting the lead. (soil tests of the DZ reported a 10% lead reduction last year)

These flowers are stunning and come out in purple and pink. I let them go to seed on thier own last year and we had many more come popping up around the garden!

They are a treat in the evening and the morning!
