This morning glory is a perennial native toTexas and sometimes graces what seems like the most unlikely areas of the Texas hill country with its vines, attractive foliage and the most lovely lavender blooms! I believe it prefers good drainage and tolerates heat well. I usually give it a trellis or something to climb, but one plant made do by climbing up my fig tree, perfectly happy to be there. In the wild many end up just sprawling over the ground in the absence of anything else.

Started 7 or 8 seeds in a pot in late May. Germinated and grew fairly fast. Mid-July planted in ground; continued to grow swiftly with minimal water, direct sun south side. Aug. 1 ,....over the 6' fence; first two blooms today (8-17) as true-blue and beautiful as the other gardner's photo here! Don't let the unually shaped small foliage fool you! A lovely, delicate vine!
