Growing Guide

When to Grow

Sow the seeds after the last frost date in spring when the soil has warmed. Frost-free dates vary depending on your region, so consult local agricultural resources or online zone-specific tools first.

How to Sow and Plant

Soak the seeds for 24 hours before planting. Sow the seeds directly outdoors at a depth of about 1/4-1/2 inch, spacing them 8 to 10 inches apart. Once seedlings emerge, thin them as necessary to provide adequate room for growth and to prevent overcrowding. Plant in a protected area, away from heavy winds.

How to Grow

Water the plants regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, but take care to avoid overwatering. Morning glories are generally low-maintenance plants and will establish themselves quickly once they start growing. Pruning may be necessary to control their spread and to shape the plant to your liking.

How to Save Seeds

  • When the flowers fade, they leave behind large seed capsules containing large, black seeds.
  • Allow the seeds to dry in a warm area out of direct sunlight for 7 days. Store them in a cool, dark, dry place over the winter.
  • Remember to nick and soak your seeds the night before planting in the spring!

What gardeners are saying

  • Every bloom different: White, pink and purple stripes; no two flowers look alike.

  • Easy to start: Near-complete germination and fast-climbing vines.

  • Tough and forgiving: Shrugs off neglect and shade, then self-sows for next year.

  • Heads up: Can be slow to bloom; a few vines flower late or sparsely.
