I've been doing some grafting work in Ipomoea species, and all of the papers I've referenced recommend a variety of I. nil 'Kidachi' (or sometimes 'Kidachi-Asagao', but asagao just means morning glory in Japanese). This seems to be a dwarfed japanese morning glory which produces thicker, shorter stems, which makes it ideal as a rootstock, while retaining the floriferous nature of many I. nil varieties.

However, I can't find this variety anywhere. Has anyone heard of this, or know where I might look for it?

Thanks.

Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.
