Ipomoea Purple Blue Venice

An annual climbing herbaceous fast-growing plant. Leaves are heart-shaped, on long petioles. The flowers are solitary, 5-6 cm in diameter. IPOMEA blooms throughout the summer with large flowers of various shades. Seeds soaked per day in water are sown immediately in open ground in the second half of May or for seedlings – in the end of April. Shoots appear in 7-10 days. It is undesirable to sow seeds for seedlings too early, as the plants grow rapidly, twisting among themselves and by the time of planting, it can be very difficult to separate them. Ipomoea is thermophilic, relatively undemanding to soils. For planting, it is better to choose a sunny, open place on the south or west side of the house or gazebo. During the dry period, plants need watering. Before flowering, you can make 2-3 dressings with a complete mineral fertilizer.

Ipomoea is used, as a rule, for vertical gardening of walls, balconies, terraces, arbors, pergolas, arches.
