GATHERING CLOUDS 
MURAKUMO

IPOMOEA NIL 

With many windy, rainy days in New York last year, this beautiful Morning Glory still bloomed in many colors and patterns. The leaves were beautiful, the flowers were large and mesmerizing, and the blooms were plentiful! 

This plant grew in our gardens in 2020. Gathering Clouds, also called Murakumo was a beautiful, chiffon-like Morning Glory! We only had a few seeds of this one to sell this year. We will be growing it again this year in hopes that the weather holds out and it is able to give us blooms that were not beaten down by Mother Nature. Even with the bad weather, this plant prevailed as a stunning example of Ipomoea Nil.

  This plant will not be planted this year. Our master file of this seed was simply lost to the USPS when the last order we filled was 'lost in the mail' and we had to replace it. We are sad this was case. We learned something about our master seed file however, "Keep Extra!!" We are incredibly hopeful someone will have this seed for sale soon.
