This brilliant red morning glory has to be one of the showiest flowers you will ever grow! Not the invasive kind, this annual puts out an endless parade of cup-shaped 2” flowers that are a true scarlet red, with numerous and prominent white ribs, ending in a bright yellow center. Dazzling is the best description for the short-lived but numerous flowers. They perch atop a sea of ovate green leaves that slowly creep out along the ground or spill out of a hanging basket. Plants grow quickly and are in bloom in no time, usually from late spring to late summer. It's perfect for adding bright colors to a window box or spilling out of a decorative container. It prefers sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Too much shade will mute its colors and cause it to be leggy. Deadhead flowers for continuous bloom. Visited by hummingbirds and butterflies alike
