Swamp Morningglory SEED

LATIN NAME: Ipomoea aquatica

COMMON NAME: Swamp Morning Glory

The swamp morning glory opens its wide, rosy trumpets over the wet ground, and the vine spreads across the shallow water. The vigorous, creeping or climbing perennial plant carries the arrow-shaped, bright-green leaves and the large, funnel-shaped, rose-pink or white flowers through the warm season, one of the bright, generous sights of the wet bed, drawing the bees and the moths. The young leafy shoots have a place in the warm kitchens of the wet lands, and the plant is a fine, generous presence of the water garden. It is a plant of the open, sunny, shallow, wet ground.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

The swamp morning glory is a curious subject of the plant science, and the rosy trumpets keep showing up in the work on the wetland vines. The way the wide, funnel-shaped flowers open over the shallow water has been studied closely, and it keeps appearing in the studies of the wetland vines, the aquatic vegetables and the members of the morning glory family. The arrow-shaped leaves and the creeping habit have also made it a fine study vine, and the swamp morning glory is a regular subject of the work on the wet-bed vines of the warm world.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

The swamp morning glory is a fine, generous vine of the wet bed and the water garden. The large, funnel-shaped, rose-pink or white flowers open through the warm season, one of the bright, generous sights of the wet bed, drawing the bees and the moths, and the arrow-shaped leaves spread across the shallow water, giving the cover for the small fish. The young leafy shoots have a place in the warm kitchens of the wet lands, and the vine is one of the fine choices for the water garden, the wet bed and the study collection. It has been written about in the botanical and the culinary papers for the rosy trumpets and the generous ways, and it is a fine, generous vine of the open, sunny, shallow, wet garden.

Keep the young plants in the shallow, wet bed, and the trumpets will open in the first warm season.

To grow the swamp morning glory from seed, nick the dark seeds with the nail file, soak them for a few hours, then set them a centimetre down in the pot of fine, gritty soil. Keep the pot in a warm, bright spot and water gently, then set the young plants out in the wet bed. The seedlings push through within a couple of weeks and grow on fast. With the sun and the shallow, wet ground, the rosy trumpets will open through the warm season.
