Morning Glory (Red Picotee) produces large, red to rosy-red trumpet-shaped flowers with a clean white edge, giving each bloom a striking two-tone picotee effect as it opens fresh in the morning. It grows well in warm weather, prefers full sunlight, and is suitable for 8-12 inch pots, garden beds, balcony grills, fences, trellises, arches, and pergolas where its fast-growing climbing vines can spread beautifully. Loved for its bold red colour, crisp white edging, and quick vertical coverage, it adds a bright seasonal display to walls, railings, entrances, and outdoor garden spaces.
