Our garden got badly parched this summer, but it’s managed to bounce back a little as temperatures have dropped from their peaks.
My favorite variety of morning glories continues to be the Bavarian “Grandpa Ott” with its deep purple blooms.
They do a great job of climbing the fence — or bamboo rods, or tall plants, or anything else they can find for support — and although their flowers don’t stay open for long, there are so many of them that they provide a constant stream of color for months throughout the late summer and into the fall.
I love the intense colors of the morning glory assortment outside my office.
