Growing Morning Glory Heavenly Blue Vines

Indoor Sowing: Not Recommended.

Direct Sowing: Spring.

Since morning glory plants do not like to be transplanted, it is recommended to direct sow the seeds.
Plant after any threat of frost and once the ground has warmed up.
Pick a site that gets plenty of sun. They will tolerate some very light shade, but bloom their best in full sun.
Nick the seeds with a nail file or sandpaper and soak seeds in warm water the night before sowing. The seeds will take up water quickly and germinate faster in the ground.
Sow the seeds seeds 20 – 25cm apart and only a few cm from a place where your morning glory vines can climb.
In a container, erect a trellis or grow them near a railing so they can be supported.
Cover lightly with soil and water thoroughly.
Keep the soil moist until germination.
Keep young seedlings well watered.
Although morning glories grow best on fertile soil, don’t over fertilize your plants or you’ll get mostly leaves, fewer flowers and they will bloom later in the season.
