Germination

Germinating Ipomoea tricolor Heavenly Blue seeds is a straightforward and rewarding process. Start by soaking the seeds in warm water for approximately 24 hours to soften their hard seed coats. After soaking, plant the seeds about 1 4 inch deep in well-draining soil, either in pots or directly in your garden bed. Ensure they receive plenty of sunlight, as these plants thrive in full sun conditions. Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Germination typically occurs within 5 to 10 days when the temperature ranges between 70-80°F (21-27°C). As the seedlings grow and develop true leaves, you can transplant them to their final location, providing a sturdy trellis or support for them to climb. With patience and proper care, your Ipomoea tricolor Heavenly Blue seeds will sprout into a garden adorned with heavenly, sky-blue blossoms that are truly breathtaking.
