Can Fertilizer Affect Color?

19 years ago

Hi There,

I was wondering if conditions like fertilizer can affect the color of Morning Glories. I read a thread about different factors that mutate a "Flying Saucer" to look like a "Blue Star."

And what about Epsom Salts? Has anyone used them?

The reason why I am wondering this is that I bought "purple" morning glory plants from a stand at the Farmer's Market and when I brought them home, the tag said "Blue Star." When I looked online, I found pictures of a very light blue floweer with a darker blue star. Does anyone have a purplish "Blue Star?" And if so, how can I make mine more purple...if I can at all...?

Thanks for any feedback!

All the Best,

Wish
