(Convolvulus Tricolor)

Dwarf Morning Glory Red Ensign (Convolvulus Tricolor Minor Red Ensign) - This vining plant will establish easily from morning glory seeds and grow quickly to create a neat little mound that is nicely suited for the flower bed, pots, planters and baskets. Red convolvulus plants look very sweet in window boxes and their flowers make a bright display. Convolvulus Red Ensign flowers are tri-colored with red and yellow throats with a white edge.

Because Red Convolvulus seeds have a hard coat, nicking the seed coat with a knife tip or rubbing seeds with a piece of sandpaper will improve germination. After nicking the seeds, place them in a bowl and soak overnight in warm water for quicker germination. The following day sow the flower seeds directly outdoors after all danger of frost has passed.
