Morning Glory 'Milky Way' - SeedsIpomoea purpureaConvolvulus purpureus, Pharbitis purpurea

Sow March to April. Soak seeds overnight in cold water before sowing. Germinate at 20-30C (68-86F) on the surface of a free draining, damp seed compost. Cover with a layer of compost, 6mm (0.25in) deep. Place in a propagator or seal container in a polythene bag until after germination which takes 10-21 days. Do not exclude light as this helps germination.

Transplant when large enough to handle into 13cm (5in) pots. Grow on in cooler, well lit conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart. For pot plants, plant into loam-based soil in 20cm (8in) pots.

Grow on with plenty of light, but shade from direct sun. Remove spent flowers regularly.

Caution: toxic if eaten
