There seems to be at least several different cultivars that have been marketed as "Minibar Rose","Cameo Elegance", "Beni Chidori", "Tsubame" and others with similar flower and leaf characteristics.although some seem to differ in the tendency to remain relatively small or to grow long. The Minibar Rose tends to have a stiffer form than the usual Ipomoea nil. Some Ipomoea nil have more of a tendency to short internodes and consequently to produce a 'stiffer' bush like form.the dwarf types are usually more bush-like and e.g., Ipomoea hederacea is a stiffer vine generally than Ipomoea nil. Plant the seeds to a depth of 1/2-inch spaced 6 inches. There are different cultivars of Ipomoea nil and some have more of a tendency to elongate or to stay smaller and more compact.pinching the tips causes auxins to accumulate in the axial area and this can sometimes double the number of blooms and can sometimes also temporarily inhibit the gibberellins from elongating the stems. Planting: Plant morning glory seeds in the spring after all danger of frost has passed in your area. If you are going to cut any plant tissue it is better to use a razor as this produces a very clean cut without causing the 'squashed' cells left behind by scissors.squashed cells induce tissue degrading enzymes that cause tissue necrosis and invite pathogens.think of cutting through a banana that still has the peel on it using a scissors or a very(!) sharp knife.the scissors 'smush' the tissue and the area will turn black from the tissue degrading lytic enzymes. Maybe MGJapan can contribute some additional clarifying information to the science of the short show plants that are often displayed in the Japanese asagao shows. The control of the lighting is critical to the short show plants seen in Japan.an initial dark period followed by growing under constant light. although keeping the roots in a small container and controlling the nutrients closely can yield the relatively short plants that are mostly seen in the Japanese asagao shows.in these plants the sideshoots are kept to a minimum and the energies are intended to be concentrated into only one or a very few blooms >this helps produce the giant show flowers seen in the asagao shows.although most of these type of super giant blooms would completely flop over if not supported by carefully training the understory of branches and leaves to act as a support for the superlarge flower(s). Some people may have more experience with inducing Ipomoea nil to produce a less viney and more bushy form than I do, as I tend to allow the tips to remain unpinched.
