0 Torsten Posted February 6, 2009 I think they need wet springs and dry summer and autumns to seed, but even then seed is minimal. Leaves are laxative and so is probably the rest of the plant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See link below for a picture of hederaceaIpomoea hederacea I've seen hederacea and it looks nothing like the one in this pic. The trumpets are really short and open wide. And they are baby blue. The leaves can be either hederaceous or heartshaped. http://www.missouriplants.com/Bluealt/Ipom...racea_page.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
