Bl. Morning Glory

[pheli]

I have two clones of this cross. They are both easy plants to grow and to bloom. But some of my firends have said that the cross dislikes cold winter here. The cold winter has killed some of these plants.

When the cold front arrives, the temperature will as low as 5-6'c which does harm to our orchids.

That is beautiful!

I didn't know it gets that cold in Taiwan.

Yes, 5-6 C is too low. I grow indoors on a windowsill, and right now it gets down to 15-16C, and my two Morning Glory's don't mind at all. Phals are a different story - if they could talk, they'd be screaming at me!

Looks good Pheli!

Thank you for your answer Pheli!
I too, could not believe the temperatures get this low in you country.
Here we are at low 10s outside and my phals (and me) are "struggling" with low 15s inside, so I would guess that if I see her somewhere we could make good friends

I am located in northwest Taiwan where our winter is deeply affected by the cold air form Mainland China.
But in south Taiwan, we have tropical area where it is usually sunshine and seldom have cold days.
