Positive	Texasbloomer	On Sep 18, 2005, Texasbloomer from Plano, TX wrote: Lovely morning glory; almost the first to bloom in my yard this (early) summer. Not many of my seeds germ. but about 5 did and tho the vine is anorexic, it grew 7' and there are 3-8 blooms each day. Some near ground; some over the wall. A wonderful deep-dark blue. One of my favorites. Next year I'll plant about 50 seeds rather than 15 or 16. Got morning shade; afternoon sun. Maybe that's what stunted the vine a bit. Wonderul flower!!

Grows well in part shade and seems to have a deeper color in shade rather than a little washed out if in full sun. A definite if you like "blues" in the garden.
