Morning Glories get their names as they open in the morning and will close in the heat of the summer afternoon. We like to plant them where they get light shade till mid day so as to enjoy their flowers longer during the daytime. These are climbers so be sure and give them space to climb at least 6 feet. Any post, fence, or trellis will work as they are strong climbers.

Similar to Sweet Pea, Morning Glories have a tough outer shell. It's best to first "scratch" through this outer layer with a metal nail file or nail clipper. Then prepare a shallow dish, like a pie pan, with very hot tap water not to exceed 140 degrees and soak your seeds so the tops are barely covered. Let them sit this way overnight and then sow the next morning directly in your garden after your last frost in the spring.

We start them early about 4 weeks before our first frost in 4" pots and then transplant after our last frost in the spring. They will want to climb so be sure and have some bamboo or dowels you can stick in your pots.
