Morning Glory (Rosita) produces large, crimson-red trumpet-shaped flowers with a clear white star and white-edged petals, giving each bloom a bold picotee-style look. 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.
Popular as a Japanese-style ornamental morning glory, it is loved for its striking red-and-white contrast, free-flowering habit, and colourful coverage on walls, railings, entrances, and vertical garden spaces.

Sowing:
-
Setup: Use individual starter pots with seed-starting mix, or sow directly where the vine will grow once frost risk has passed.
-
Sow: Sow 1/4 inch deep and cover with mix. Keep evenly moist at about 21°C (70°F).
-
Transplant: Move young plants with the root ball intact into their growing pot or bed during settled warm weather. Avoid separating or damaging roots.
-
Watering: Keep soil moist but not soggy. Water gently to avoid disturbing seeds.
-
Sunlight: Provide as much direct sunlight as possible for optimal growth.

Pests: Use neem oil for pest control when pests are detected.
