Heavenly Blue Morning Glory Seed

Item #HSC-MGL-001-PKT

About this variety

The classic sky-blue morning glory.

A fast heirloom climber with 4–5" sky-blue trumpets and creamy white throats over heart-shaped leaves. Flowers open in the morning and close by afternoon.

Vines grow fast through spring and summer, then bloom from midsummer until early fall, covering arbors and trellises or sprawling as ground cover. Easy to grow, and vigorous enough to reseed.

Flowers about 110–120 days from sowing; vines reach 120–180". Open-pollinated.

Specs

  • Packet: 50 seeds
  • Average 900 seeds per oz.
  • Plant height: 120–180"

Growing Information

Days to germination

About 5–14 days, held at 65–75°F (18–24°C); warm days with cooler nights help. If seed is slow, nick the pointed end with a knife or clippers and soak up to 12 hours before sowing.

Starting indoors

Sow 3–4 weeks before planting out, covered with 1/4" of mix (no light needed). Keep moist, harden off and plant out after frost.

Direct sowing

1–2 weeks after your last frost.

Plant spacing

8–14" apart, about 6" out from the wall, trellis or arbor.

Soil

Average, well-drained soil; it handles poor ground. Too much nitrogen or water means fewer flowers.

Light

Full sun is best; tolerates part shade.

Support

Give it a trellis, fence, arbor or stakes to climb.

Flowering

Blooms are triggered by long nights, so vines grow hard through spring and summer and flower from midsummer into early fall.

Uses

Arbors, trellises, fences, containers and ground cover.

Hardiness

Grown as an annual. Vigorous and can reseed.

Plant height

120–180".

Scientific name

Ipomoea tricolor
