Morning Glory, Chocolate
Stunning Color! The Japanese began selecting morning glories in the 9th century, and this is one of their most stunning. Huge, 5" blooms are the loveliest creamy, chocolate-pink color. In Japan, this color is described as "kaki, or persimmon." Large plants produce loads of these beauties!
Legend has it, in 1806, a massive fire broke out in Tokyo, burning much of the city to the ground. The morning glory was one of the plants to rise from the ashes, sparking a frenzy of interest in the flower. Also quite popular in America in Victorian times, and we are striving to make them popular once again.
