The flowers reach 8–10 cm in diameter, and their color is truly pure blue – without the purple tint typical of the common purple morning glory. Each flower lives for just one day: it opens at dawn and closes in the afternoon, but the plant produces so many that the vine remains continuously covered in flowers for three–four months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeart-shaped, light green leaves form a dense, even wall of greenery that is decorative in its own right and effectively conceals a fence mesh, post or unattractive fence.

Sow directly in the permanent position, placing 2–3 seeds in spots 50–60 cm apart, at a depth of 1–1.5 cm. Seedlings emerge after about 2 weeks. Morning glory germinates when the soil reaches at least 15°C, so do not sow too early.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eThinning:\u003c\/strong\u003e when the seedlings reach 10 cm, leave the 1–2 strongest plants in each spot. For earlier sowing under cover in April, sow 2–3 seeds per pot in peat pots or pots 8–10 cm in diameter, as morning glory does not tolerate transplanting with disturbance to the root ball.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003ePlanting out (after 15 May):\u003c\/strong\u003e plant out seedlings from pots after the risk of frost has passed, together with the root ball, spacing them 50–60 cm apart, directly beside a support – mesh, strings, trellis or a pergola post. The soil should be fertile, well-drained and not allowed to dry out; choose a sunny or lightly shaded position sheltered from the wind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e guide the shoots onto the support during the first few weeks; afterward, the plant manages on its own. Water regularly during dry periods. Be careful with fertilizing: excess nitrogen produces masses of leaves and few flowers – a balanced fertilizer once every 3–4 weeks is sufficient, or none at all if the soil is fertile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eUses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeavenly Blue is a classic \u003cstrong\u003efor covering arbors, pergolas, fences and mesh\u003c\/strong\u003e – in a single season, it creates a green wall dotted with blue trumpets.
