Morning Glory Ruffled Red Seeds

A dramatic annual climber producing trumpet shaped blooms in vivid crimson red with elegantly ruffled petals.

 

Morning Glory Ruffled Red creates a striking vertical display, its flowers unfurling fresh each morning against a backdrop of lush green foliage.

 

The ruffled texture adds depth and movement to the blooms, making them stand out on trellises, fences, and arches. Fast-growing and vigorous, this variety brings bold colour and ornamental flair throughout summer.

 

Morning Glory thrives in sunny positions and rewards gardeners with a long season of blooms from midsummer into autumn. The scarlet-red flowers not only provide stunning ornamental value but also attract bees, butterflies, and hoverflies, enhancing biodiversity in the garden.
