How to Sow and Plant

Soak seeds overnight to improve germination.

Sow directly in prepared soil or in containers after the last frost.

Plant seeds 1/4–1/2 inch deep, spacing 6–12 inches apart.

Keep soil consistently moist until germination, which occurs in 7–14 days.

Provide support such as a trellis, fence, or pergola for climbing.

How to Grow

Grow in full sun with well-drained soil.

Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid waterlogging.

Fertilize lightly once established to encourage vigorous flowering.

Prune or train vines to maintain structure and airflow.

Remove faded flowers to promote continuous blooming.

Tips

Morning glory is fast-growing and self-tender; start seeds indoors in cooler climates.

Avoid over-fertilizing, which can produce excessive foliage over flowers.

Provide support for climbing to enhance display and avoid tangling.
