Description

Ipomoea purpurea 'Lazy Luxe' is a beautiful mixture with trumpet-shaped blooms in ten sparkling shades of blue, pink, purple, mauve and white, often with contrasting stars. In one season, the uniform plants send out long, twining stems loaded with buds that burst into bloom against mid-green foliage. This beautiful collection is ideal for ground covers or airy displays when grown up a support. It thrives in a warm, sunny, sheltered position in loose, cool soil.

Ipomoea purpurea, poetically named Morning Glory, is a very vigorous perennial climber that belongs to the Convolvulaceae family. It is native to tropical America, probably Mexico. This tuberous rooted plant is not cold-hardy and is often treated as an annual in colder climates. 'Lazy Luxe' produces 1.80 m long, twining stems that are quick to scramble up nearby supports. From July until the first frosts, it produces an abundance of funnel-shaped corollas, each measuring over 3 to 5 cm in diameter. Silky-smooth to the touch, they display ten different shades of blue, pink, mauve, purple and white depending on the plant, often marked with contrasting stars. Although the delicate blooms open and close in the space of day, they are constantly replaced on the plant. The stems bear 5 to 10 cm, oval to heart-shaped leaves, occasionally three-lobed. Their matt, mid green colour really sets off the brightly coloured blooms. Each plant produces about 100 seed pods, i. e. about 600 seeds at the end of the growing season, before the first frosts.

Ipomoea is a distant cousin of common bindweed. Although it is distinctly less cold-hardy, it is such an enthusiastic grower that it makes an excellent annual. It thrives in any well-drained garden soil in a warm, sheltered position. It combines well with other short-lived climbers such as sweet peas or nasturtiums. It eagerly scrambles over trellises, pergolas, arches, balcony railings, trees, shrubs and even other vines such as clematis and wisteria. If it can't find a support, it can be left to roam free on the ground. Morning Glory is ideal for hiding unsightly walls or dead trees.

Planting and care

From May to June, sow the Volubilis in open ground or in a large pot. Soaking the seeds in a bowl of water for 24 hours before sowing helps to accelerate seed germination.

Make small holes 1 cm deep, spaced 50 cm to 1 m apart. Place 4 or 5 seeds in each hole, then cover them and water.

It takes 18 days to see the first shoots emerge from the ground.

To save time on flowering, you can sow in March-April in buckets at a temperature of 18°C, then transplant your plants into the garden after the last frost.

In summer, make sure your Ipomoeas do not lack water as this would harm their beautiful flowering. Water preferably in the early morning or evening. Avoid hot locations, as the foliage wilts very quickly and the heat dehydrates the plants. You can remove faded flowers so that the plant does not exhaust itself by producing seeds. Ipomoeas are so fertile that the first seeds that fall to the ground can germinate very quickly and form new young plants before winter.

The soil should not be excessively rich in nitrates, as this would promote foliage growth at the expense of flowering.
