Morning Glory Star of Yelta
So easy to grow, even in dry or sandy soils!
Reaching 8 to 10 feet tall, Star of Yelta is perfect for fences, walls, mailboxes, lampposts, unsightly tree stumps, and good old trellises and arbors! It can either climb or ramble across the ground, with fresh foliage as a backdrop to the masses of showy 2 1/2-inch blooms. Say goodbye to ordinary blue Morning Glories -- Star of Yelta is royalty!
Thriving in full sun, this vine loves ordinary to dry soil, and will really take off in sandy soils. It is super-easy and fast to grow -- just direct-sow the seeds when the soil warms up in spring, and before you know it you'll be staring in wonder at these delightful blooms. You can even train it up a trellis inside a container for a "Glory-ous" patio accent, or let it trail from a hanging basket!
Star of Yelta begins blooming when the summer heat arrives, and won't quit until the first cold snap of fall. At last, a Morning Glory you don't have to get up early to enjoy each day! Pkt is 20 seeds.
