How to grow morning glory?
Morning glories don't transplant well, so you would be better off soaking them for 24 hours, nick them with a blade, and then either use peat pellets or directly sow them in the ground.





Good Luck
Reply:just throw them down wherever you want them.....they're impossible to kill though..we had them and we mowed them over millions of times...ALWAYS came back
Reply:As long as the threat of frost has passed in your area, you're fine. Morning glories are very easy to grow. Just get the variety you like (I love the "Heavenly Blue" hybrid), soak the seed overnight (they have a VERY hard seed coat), and plant. I like to plant morning glories as early as possible; they close up during the day when it's warm out, so the sooner they grow, the more time I will have to actually SEE them blooming, as it will stay cooler longer during the day.





Be sure to give them a place to climb, as they are vining plants, of course. I have some lattice that I got at Home Depot, but even string will work :-)





Enjoy!
Reply:It should say on the packet which months you can plant them.





Plant them in really big pots, and place the pots by your balcony. The pots will provide the soil and ground, and since Morning Glory is a vine, it will grow on anything that you put it near.





P.S. - that will look BEAUTIFUL!
Reply:fall asleep after makig love to a moose, then realize that you forgot to dampen the soil before you planted the seeds, morning glories are best grown in damp, super fertile soil
Reply:You need to soak the seeds overnight and then plant one or two seeds per cup (plastic cup with a hole in bottom). Keep it inside in a sunny window, (on a tray or plate) watering when needed. Then when they come up, thin to only one plant per cup. When they get to be about 6 or more inches long, you can transplant them outside (in a pot) in a sunny location. I love this time of year!!! It's still cold (40 degrees) where I live, so I have to wait a bit. Actually, I probably could start now...if I keep all my seeds inside. Have fun!
