Ipomoea nil 'Chocolate', commonly known as Japanese Morning Glory, is a vigorous annual climber producing exceptionally large, funnel-shaped flowers in unusual soft chocolate-rose to muted mauve tones, often finished with a contrasting pale edge. The distinctive colouring is complemented by lush, heart-shaped foliage, creating an unusual alternative to the familiar blue and purple Morning Glory varieties.
Fast-growing twining stems are ideal for covering trellises, arches, fences and other vertical supports during summer. The spectacular flowers open in the morning, and plants perform best in a warm, sunny, sheltered position where they can climb freely and produce their summer display.
● Unusual soft chocolate-rose to muted mauve flower colour
● Exceptionally large, funnel-shaped Morning Glory blooms
● Fast-growing twining climber for strong vertical impact
● Flowers open in the morning for a distinctive daily display
● Excellent for quickly covering trellises, arches and fences
● Trellises and obelisks
● Garden arches
● Sunny fences and walls
● Large patio containers with climbing support
● Vertical summer displays
● Soak seeds in lukewarm water for 12–24 hours before sowing to soften the hard seed coat and encourage faster, more even germination.
● Sow indoors in individual pots rather than communal trays, as Ipomoea nil dislikes root disturbance; transplant with the root ball intact.
● Provide a climbing support from an early stage so the rapidly growing twining stems can attach without becoming tangled.
● Avoid excessive high-nitrogen feeding, which can encourage vigorous leafy growth at the expense of flower production.
● Choose a warm, sheltered site with plenty of sun; this heat-loving climber performs and flowers best when protected from cold winds.
