Morning Glory - Key Growing Information
DAYS TO GERMINATION:
Allow 5–14 days at 65–75°F (18–24°C); warm days with cooler nights give the best results. If seed is slow, nick the pointed end with a knife or clippers and then soak it for up to 12 hours to speed things up.
SOWING:
For transplants, sow 3–4 weeks before planting out, covering the seed with ¼" of mix; it doesn't need light to sprout. Keep the surface moist, then harden off and plant out once frost danger has passed. To sow in place, wait until 1–2 weeks after the last frost.
LIGHT PREFERENCE:
Full sun is best, though it handles some shade.
PLANT HEIGHT:
120–180"; give it stakes or a trellis to climb.
PLANT SPACING:
Space plants 8–14" apart, about 6" out from a wall, trellis or arbor.
HARDINESS ZONES:
Grown as an annual.
SOIL REQUIREMENTS:
Average soil with good drainage; copes with poor soil. Too much nitrogen or water means fewer flowers.
USES:
Beds, containers, landscapes, arbors and trellises.
SCIENTIFIC NAME:
Ipomoea spp.
