awesome Grandpa

If you once plant Grandpa Ott morning glories, you won't ever have to do it again. I love these, the bees love these, the hummingbirds love these. Unfortunately the deer love these as well...evidence the photo below, those stems are supposed to have leaves attached.
These flowers are currently 8' off the ground and the plant continues up a string another 7' and is still growing the first week in September. They self seed readily and are a real eye catcher.
Grandpa Ott is one of the heirloom varieties that started the Seed Savers Exchange in Decorah, Iowa. Check out their website at www.seedsavers.org

The nice thing is that Grandpa has gotten so tall climbing up the deck railing, that the flowers and the rest of the leaves are way out of the deer's browsing reach.
