Overview

A great, climbing 'morning glory' for trellises and wigwams, 'Grandpa Ott' has flowers of intense violet-blue, with a central, ruby red star produced in prolific blooms up to 7cm (2Ωin) across. Best grown in a warm sheltered spot outdoors, or inside a conservatory, the trumpet-shaped flowers close up in the afternoon but open for business in the mornings to attract bees and butterflies. Makes a great, long-season conservatory climber. Growing instructions: Soak the seeds in water for 24 hours before sowing to start the germination process and then plant 2.5mm deep into small pots filled with a freely draining compost. Germination at 68°F (20°C) takes approximately 1-2 weeks. Thin out carefully when large enough to handle taking care not to damage the roots and harden off before planting out after all frosts. Sow: March to May Flowering: June to September
