How to grow
Soak the seeds in water for 24 hours before planting them. This will help soften the hard outer shell of the seed and allow for better germination. Choose a planting location that receives full sun throughout the day, with well-drained soil. If you are planting in a container, make sure it has drainage holes. Plant the seeds in the soil about 1/2 inch deep, and space them about 6 inches apart. Water the soil thoroughly after planting. As the plants grow, provide support such as a trellis or fence for them to climb. Morning glories can grow up to 10 feet tall! Water the plants regularly, but be careful not to overwater as this can cause the roots to rot.
- Morning glories can be susceptible to pests such as aphids and spider mites. Keep an eye out for any signs of infestation and treat with an organic insecticide if necessary.
- Enjoy the beautiful blooms! Morning glories come in a variety of colors, including purple, pink, blue, and white. They typically bloom from mid-summer to early fall.
