    Love these! Easy to grow and resilient. Some of my blooms are pink and some are purple. They are beautiful. They had no trouble growing around the porch beans with little support

    Customer photo review of Morning Glory Seeds - Grandpa Ott

    These morning glories are beautiful and were very easy to grow. I planted some along our trellis gate and they continue to grow and bloom the prettiest flowers with large leaves. And the hummingbirds love them! We did get a mix of purple and pink flowers.

    Quality seeds, as always - grew quickly into big healthy plants. And the flowers are beautiful! They're so bright, they appear to be lit from within, even in the morning shade.

    Seeds took immediately and within a week were sprouting. By week 2, we already had starter vines beginning to emerge. Fast shipping and excellent quality.
