Morning Glory Seeds
The growing popularity of planting and growing morning glory seeds among gardeners can be attributed to several factors. Morning glories are known for their vibrant, trumpet-shaped flowers that come in a range of stunning colors, adding a burst of beauty to any garden. Heavenly Blue Morning Glories are particularly appreciated for their large, vibrant blue blossoms. These fast-growing vines are also valued for their ability to quickly cover trellises, fences, and other structures, providing both privacy and a charming backdrop.
Heavenly Blue morning glory seeds are relatively easy to sow and grow, making them accessible to both novice and experienced gardeners. The enchanting sight of morning glories blooming in the early morning, coupled with their low maintenance needs, makes them a favorite choice for gardeners looking to add a touch of elegance and color to their outdoor spaces.
Growing Heavenly Blue Morning Glory Flowers from Seed
To successfully sow and grow morning glory seeds, follow these instructions:
Choose the Right Time: Morning glory seeds should be planted in the spring after the last frost when the soil has warmed up.
Prepare the Seeds: Morning glory seeds have a hard outer coating. To speed up germination, soak the seeds in water for 24 hours or gently nick the seed coat with a file or nail clipper before planting.
Select a Sunny Location: Morning glories thrive in full sun, so choose a spot in your garden that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Prepare the Soil: These plants prefer well-draining soil. Loosen the soil to a depth of about 8-10 inches and mix in some compost to improve fertility.
Sow the Seeds: Plant the seeds about 1/4 inch deep and 4-6 inches apart. If planting along a trellis or fence for climbing, space the seeds about 6-12 inches apart.
Water Gently: After planting, water the area lightly to moisten the soil without washing away the seeds.
Provide Support: Morning glories are climbers, so provide a trellis, fence, or other support for the vines to grow on as they develop.
Care and Maintenance: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Once established, morning glories are relatively drought-tolerant. Thin seedlings to about 8-12 inches apart once they are a few inches tall.
Watch for Pests: Morning glories are generally low-maintenance, but watch for common garden pests such as aphids and spider mites.
By following these steps, your morning glory seeds should germinate within 5-14 days, and you'll soon have beautiful, climbing vines gracing your garden.
