Ipomoea acuminata (Blue Dawnflower)

Blue Dawnflower

Ipomoea acuminata

Discontinued

Fast growing perennial vine with striking blue flowers that average four inches across; blooms appear from spring to fall. The vine extends up to 15 feet in length until fall, when they die back in even the mildest of winters.

Dawnflower is an ideal specimen for a trellis or fence where the vines and leaves will weave through it quickly, then give a gorgeous floral display. Although Dawnflower is hardy to zone 9, heavy mulching will help it return in the spring.
