Plants have ivy-like shaped foliage and variegated leaves of green and silver-white.
The foliage is very attractive and the plants are worth growing just for the foliage display. The
flowers are bright rose-red with white centers and many plants have a thin white edge to the
flowers. Plants are smaller than most types and make a good pot plant or used as a trailing plant
down a wall. A mini morning glory - so to speak. One plant fills a one gallon pot well since each
plant is basely branched with a number of stems each growing 6 to 9 feet tall. Fast growing, so
should be planted in its growing location in a few weeks after germination.
Annuals. Nick seeds and soak in warm water for 24 hours,
