Growing Morning Glory Vines
Indoor Sowing: Late Winter and Early Spring.
Direct Sowing: Spring.

- If sown directly into the garden, 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.
- Because of their rapid growth, choose a location that will allow for its mature size.
- File the Morning Glory Purple seed coat to break the outer shell and soak for 24 hours prior to planting to help with germination.
- Cover lightly with one-quarter to one-half inch of soil and water thoroughly.
- When transplanting, be careful of the roots, as they don’t like being disturbed.
- Water deeply for several days after transplanting to help the roots get established in their new home.
