Plant Care & Growing Tips

To successfully grow morning glories from our morning glory mixed seeds, attention to a few key care requirements will ensure a profusion of beautiful blooms. Morning glories thrive in full sun, meaning they need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day to produce the most flowers. Choose a location in your garden that receives ample morning sun, as this is when their flowers are most active. While they can tolerate some partial shade, flowering may be reduced. Prepare your soil by ensuring it is well-draining and moderately fertile. Morning glories are not overly particular about soil type but prefer a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Avoid overly rich soil, as this can lead to more foliage growth and fewer flowers. Before planting, consider scarifying the hard seed coat by nicking it with a file or soaking the seeds in warm water for 24 hours to aid germination.

Watering should be consistent, especially during dry spells and when the plants are young. Once established, morning glories are somewhat drought-tolerant, but regular watering will promote healthier growth and more abundant blooms. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. Fertilization is generally not heavily required; an all-purpose balanced fertilizer applied once or twice during the growing season is usually sufficient. Over-fertilizing, particularly with high-nitrogen formulas, can result in excessive leaf growth at the expense of flowers. Provide a trellis, fence, or other support structure for your vines to climb as they grow. While morning glories are annuals, they often self-seed, allowing you to enjoy their beauty year after year. Protect young plants from slugs and snails, which can be attracted to tender new growth. For the best display of colorful morning glory, ensure they have plenty of room to climb and bask in the sun.
