Pack of 8 - Live Starter Vines, Morning Glory Live Plants - Locally Grown, Grandpa OTT

When these get sent out depends on your planting zone, usually sometime between March - May. A label will be printed out before that time, which will show they are in "pre transit", but they won't actually be mailed until it's safe. I'll keep an eye out for your temperatures. HEAT ADVISORY: During the hottest months, your plant's leaves will probably die in the box. Expect to get a greenish purple stick in the mail. However, this is nothing to be worried about. As long as the roots arrive moist, the plant is very healthy. Once you plant it, all the leaves will come back quickly.Scientific Name: Ipomoea purpurea, Common name: Grandpa OttYou will receive two packages of 4 small, bare root plants (8 starter plants total), with mature roots and stem. Please see photo for an idea of what you'll be getting. Bury them, hook them around something to climb onto, and watch them go. Plants arrive short and older ones are clipped. If I don't keep them trimmed, they will wind, clench, and choke each other in the trays I grow them in. They are the type of vine that will need to climb on a structure you provide them, so they will arrive with 1 or two mature leaves. Please see the photo to get an idea of how big they are when they arrive; but don't worry, they do grow quickly. Ipomoea purpurea - Fast growing vine with brilliant purple indigo flowers that bloom in the morning and early afternoon. An easy, drought-tolerant plant that provides a beautiful backdrop for hummingbirds, butterflies, and those fat pollinating bumbles. Loves to climb on fences or trellises. This vine starts out small, but races to the finish line in record growth to cover my entire mailbox in a month. The flowers are so eye-catching and deep that I make this easy plant part of my yard family each year. After transplanting, give it a little water daily for a week, or until you see the plant start to take off. Don't let the leaves crisp. Once established, you shouldn't have to water at all and only rely on the occasional rain. An annual in cooler zones, this self-seeding plant tends to come back year after a year, regardless. If you have any issues with how your plant arrives, please message me within 48 hours of receiving them so I can help you with recovery or replace them if needed (I really do want to help!) I can't give refunds or replacements for healthy plants that have died after planting, so please contact me asap if they arrive dead in a box. Photos always help.
