Has anyone on here grown clove bean, Ipomoea muricata? I’m trying it out for the first time this year. I have two varieties. One I was told has white flowers and the other purple. The white flowered seeds are twice as big as the purple.
So far easy peesy germination on the white. I just put the purple to soak today. I’m pretty sure these will direct sew no problem but I’m trying out both for my first go. I’d love to hear if anyone has grown or eaten these before!
The clove beans are growing rapidly. First They sprung out huge cotyledons & then started putting on a couple of inches a day. So far they look just like morning glories and my plant app identifies them as Ipomoea alba. I suppose the difference will be clear when they grow their ‘beans.’
I ordered a 3rd set of seeds of the purple flowering variety and they are large like the white ones so the smaller size of the seeds apparently is not related to the variety. I soaked a few of the new ones but neglected to nick the seed coat and they are sitting in the water not absorbing anything so it seems that’s a necessary step.
