We have the Japanese to thank for this chocolate morning glory that is easily grown from seeds.  Ipomoea nil, the Japanese variety, sports huge blooms, 5 inches wide (12 cm), with a unique color ranging from rose to light brown, and all the blooms have a white throat. Some of the flowers will be completely rose-chocolate and some will have a lovely white picotee edge, adding even more interest to this unique variety. Chocolate is an extremely carefree and free-blooming climbing vine that will bloom early and load itself with masses of attractive milk chocolate-colored flowers all summer long.
