| Varieties Available | Ipomoea Nil | Kikyo |
Presenting a new blue Kikyo variety with a delicate white tip on each petal which we are calling Kikyo Sapphires. Kikyo Sapphires are descendent from Kikyo Snowflakes, most likely the result of a cross with an unknown parent. These have been grown out to two generations and they continue to produce this pattern. Some rare blooms produce speckles, and others are much larger in size. Heavy bloomer and seed producer, not to mention a magnificent addition to any garden.
