Convolvulus, anyone? aka dwarf morning glory

These used to be a staple in the seed catalogs but for whatever reason I never tried them. I saw them in Select Seeds catalog and decided I want them but didn't want to order just one thing, so I went looking elsewhere. I was surprised not to find them at the other seed houses I use. Funny how things fall out of favor, isn't it.

Anyway, what can you tell me about "Royal Ensign"? I ended up ordering them but have no experience with them. Would appreciate comments on growth habit and flowering, and if any disease problems. I have a specific pot in mind for them - a large cement one in which I usually plant "Black and Blue" salvia; I think the "Royal Ensign" would be a great cascading underplanting, and the grey cement background will set off the deep-colored flowers nicely. Also, any tips for seed sowing? Are they pretty much the same procedure as regular morning glories?
