    This is a pretty variety, although the pretty double flowers do not set seeds; only the single flowers do. I would advise gardeners to pick the tips off when the seedlings are old enough so the plants can branch more. Otherwise, they will be skinny long vines. This variety blooms late in my zone 6 region, so seed production is very low, but buying a seed packet is not a big deal.

    The Double Blue Picotee is an amazing JMG .. you never really know what you're going to get since it throws some really awesome mutants from time to time.
