MORNING GLORY - FLYING SAUCER MORNING GLORY Flying Saucer ipomoea tricolor Annual morning glories are a nostalgic symbol of the cottage gardens . For twining up a fence, these heat-loving beauties are indispensable.This variety introduced in the 1960's has large white funnels with sky blue veins that whirl open every morning to reveal pale yellow center. Not to be confused with their pesky cousin, bindweed, these annual morning glories are a nostalgic symbol of the cottage gardens of the "new world".
