I've heard morning glory will quickly take over an area if you are not careful.

Sinicuichi (Heimia salicifolia) is a nice little shrub that has tons of beautiful yellow flowers that is used traditionaly to make a relaxing/euphoric tea in south america. puts out litterally trillions of seeds and can spread like crazy. survives through light winters.

Thanks guys thats two plants i can start to look for seeds for and then at some stage hopefully propigate

. Btw how does winter affect morning glory as in how harsher winter can it take?

Morning glories are annuals I believe. They grow easily just about anywhere if you plant in the spring. The bad thing is they grow out of control and get wrapped in the fence, and then you gotta tear em out of the fence when they die.

Lions tail/wild dagga is easy on the coasts to grow, though I've never been so impressed with its results.

shouldn't be a problem if you get some sort of trellis. i think there is also a way of training it to not climb.

a cactus would be pretty easy. maybe a san pedro.

Oh yea, it can be a perennial, neato...

Hardiness: USDA Zones 10 - 11. Morning glory is a perennial in Zones 10-11, but this frost tender vine is also widely enjoyed as an annual in temperate zones.

Thanks guys just out of intrest should i just buy the morning glory seeds they sell in my local headshop or do i need a specific type for them to grow?

StroFun · 03-01-07, 08:20

I can't help you there i would go with a botanicals sponsor here. You can always check ebay as a last resort. Check erowid to get the scientific name and ask the headshop what the scientific name is for the morning glories they sell and compare to what you got from erowid.

"Heavenly blue" is a common MG variety found anywhere, that is active.

Passion Flower is another Perenial vine who's leaves have a strong sedative effect in tea..[Passiflora incarnata]..grows in the UK in a sheltered sunny location..has cool flowers too ...

eternalfrost · 03-01-07, 12:19

dont know about actually growing them, but ive gotten off on "heavenly blue' and "flying saucer" strains before. just plain old burpee seed packs from like home depot, like 99 cents
