Morning Glory Question?

[bob-bob]

I have UTSE but cannot find the answers I need.

My question is, is there any morning glory or other similar climber (ie HBRW) that would be considered "active"

that sets seed in an area such as Sydney?

Cheers.

Are you looking for something that is already growing around Sydney? (eg semi wild ect) Or do you mean "What should I plant that will grow in the Sydney area that is active?"

If it's the first I can't really help, as most Morning Glory type things I see growing around as weeds do not seem to set seed. But if you are planting, then something like Ipomoea violacea, Morning Glory - Heavenly Blue should work fine.

Heavenly Blue definitely sets seed in sydney. are you sure you have the right species?

[bob-bob]

I think I have confused I. violacea or I. tricolor which ever it may be with I. indica.

I. Indica

Flowers are distinct violet-blue, 5 to 8cm

in diameter occurring anytime in the year,

particularly in warmer months.

Rarely sets seed in Australia. Spreads

vegetatively.

But thanks for clearing that up for me.

so, this was a wild plant you were referring to? best to share such info as we could have told you what species that would be.

wild + no seed + sydney = I.indica

haha you live and learn, I can't believe all this time I have not grown Heavenly Blue thinking it didn't set seed.

Thanks for clearing that up.
