STAR OF INDIA

IPOMOEA NIL  

We grew these Star of India in our garden last year. Our original seed came from a seller on Etsy. We have since purchased seeds from several different sellers. Star of India appears to be stable, so far. We are interested to see how it grows after growing in our openly pollinated gardens. The seed we will grow this year came from the plants you see above. We are very excited to see what they produce. Star of India is an explosion of joy and color and the bloom size coupled with the large variegated leaves are a serious garden party that screams for attention. Purple lovers take notice, this plant calls to you!
