Grandpa Otts Morning Glory
Grandpa Otts blooms from summer until first frost and will bloom more abundantly during cool weather.
This excellent vine will cover fences and trellises, grow as ground cover, or hang in large baskets or pots.
The intense, 2 to 4 inch across violet blue flowers, have a vivid, incandescent ruby star on the petals.
Plants started too early are less vigorous than those started later.
The Morning Glory Grandpa Otts, 'Tpomoea tricolor', is a Heirloom variety that is so stunning that it belongs in every old-fashioned garden.

Make a plastic root cellar by sinking a garbage can into the ground with the rim 3 inches above the ground. Line the bottom of the garbage can with 2 inches of damp sand, repeat this with each layer of vegetables. Finally, place a 1 to 2 foot high pile of leaves and straw over the top followed by a plastic film held down by rocks.
