Hanging plant

I have two hanging plants in back garden Impomoea Black Tone will I be able to over winter them or are they not a plant to keep

 

I don't think there is much chanch of overwintering Ipomoea outside Nathan, they need to be kept frost free and ideally at around 5c. They should be kept on the dry side to prevent rottting and only increasing watering in March to start growth again.

 

Many thanks Marley and Strongylodon will let you know how I get on, I have put them in the greenhouse :thumb:

 

what about spray chrysanthumums please :thumb:

 

Ipomoea Black Tone......I am always on the lookout for new hanging plants for baskets etc.I like the look of this but can't seem to find it to purchase either tuber or seed anywhere..........Help.

 

Hy roders I have two, I bought them from a new store that took over from Mark and Spencer where I think they cost about £3.99 each, I will get the name of the store for you might be one near
If you can find out if they can be split or a way of taking a cutting I will do that for you [bit cold now for cuttings I suppose]

 

There was an article about Ipomoea in the D Telegraph yesterday I think = it gave the same response as from Strongylodon - also gave suppliers of seeds including Thomson and Morgan ( hope I got that right - my wife threw away the paper!)

 

Have found the article and it refers to Ipomoea lobata so maybe not the same type. Th seed supplierswere listed as T&M, Suttons Seeds - they also reccomended a plant supplier viz. Derry Watkins at www.specialplants.net based in Chippenham.
