This variant is prized for its deep and distinctive color. Ipomoea tricolor var. heavenly blue has a long rich history of spiritual ceremonial use by the Aztec, Mazotec, Zapotec, and the Contal Indians. USDA hardiness zones 3-10.
Soak the Ipomoea Tricolor seeds in warm water for 12 prior to planting. Sow the seeds early in spring in a well draining potting soil. Keep the seeds moist, but not soaking wet and allow for plenty of sun. Keep between 65°F and 80°F for best results and to maximize blooms throughout summer. Seeds typically take 5-21 days to germinate, but can take longer. Even with optimal conditions, germination may be slow and sporadic.
