Christmas .....

We will suspend sending mail orders from Wednesday 4th December, starting again, weather permitting, from 6th January 2025. Most of our plants will be under cover, dormant and probably not looking at their summer best, so we encourage you to look at our eGift Vouchers as an alternative.

Ipomoea indica

£6.50

Currently being propagated, please ask as we may have some, or we can at least let you know when they will hopefully be available

–

Vigorous tender climber with stunning deep blue Convolvulus-like flowers to 8cm across in summer. Tactile, soft heart shaped leaves add to the exotic tropical feel. Needs warm conditions to flower well so if you want to grow it outside in the summer keep it in the conservatory until mid June or when the weather really warms up. They can suffer with spider mite in very hot conditions so if your conservatory gets very hot it may do better outside during the hottest months. Make sure you grow it in large pot with a sturdy obelisk for it to climb up. Being a member of the bindweed family it grows very rapidly once it gets going!
