This is an extremely rare morning glory species from Africa. The small, lavender flowers are followed by fuzzy, orange seeds.
Ipomoea transvaalensis has small but attractive leaves and flowers. I grew it as a groundcover, but the vigourous vines would be excellent on a trellis or pillar.
These seeds have a very hard coat and must be nicked before they are soaked. If they don't swell up the first time, nick and soak them again. Also known as Transvaal Orange-Seeded Morning Glory.
