- Transvaal Orange Seeded Morning Glory

One notable thing about this plant is the way the mature red/orange seeds will drop down from the opening
seedpods, hanging in a cluster from little silk-like threads. They look for all the world like some kind of berry.

Transvaal Morning Glory is an easy to grow tropical vine. Start it from seed in early spring and soon it will be covered with tiny lavender flowers. Give it a trellis to climb on and it will be happy all summer. Produces many little orange seeds that you can save and plant for next year.
