This rapid-growing Flying Saucers variant is a climbing vine that reaches for the sky, soaring up to an impressive 15 feet (4.5m). Its lavish 5 in (12cm) blooms, painted in celestial sky blue adorned with delicate white streaks forming a captivating pinwheel motif, are a sight to behold. Cultivating the Flying Saucers from flower seeds is a gratifying endeavor, whether it's cascading gracefully from window boxes and planters or elegantly ascending a trellis. The Ipomoea Flying Saucer graces us with its blooms from the warmth of summer until the touch of the first frost, exhibiting even more opulence during the cooler seasons. These blossoms unfurl their splendor in the morning light, only to gently fold as dusk descends.
