For a time in the early 19th century, morning glories were to the Japanese what tulips were in 15th century Holland, when the trade in rare flowers sent prices to absurdly high prices. Japanese morning glory breeders have created an astonishing array of variations in shapes, colors and sizes -- helped along by genes called transposons, which can 'jump' from one position to another within the genome. Learn the fascinating history of Imperial Japanese morning glories!

Another great video. We grow several of your Japanese morning glories and love them (especially the double flowered ‘Sunrise Serenade’)-it’s great to hear such nice detail about their history. Love the old drawings and art too. Keep the awesomeness coming!

Love hearing the history of plants! For many years I did not grow morning glory because looking at the seed packet I just did it find them very appealing, And I never seen the morning glory in real life, But I needed a plant to grow over An arbour this Year and it wasn't in the budget for a climbing rose this year, since we just bought a house... so i grew some morning glory (the "celestial Mix") & OMG they were so beautiful!!! I have a video up on my channel where I planted them up and a 2 month update if anyone would like to check it out!

I love morning glories but the seed so much it’s hard to keep up

Superb history. But they can be invasive. I think I’ll try them in containers this time.

I think the morning glory is beautiful but last year I helped with my in-laws garden and they were a plague. The grow so quickly and wrap themselves around everything. I hope to stay ahead them this upcoming year 😩
