Growing Morning Glories

Plant: 1/4″-1/2″ deep after danger of frost is over or 6-8 weeks before last frost if starting indoors.

Sprouts in: 5-10 days (10-15 for Blue Star)

Thin to: 12″ (3″-6″ for Blue Star)

Conditions: Full Sun, well drained soil, water frequently

Height: 8′-10′

Type: Annual, Climbing vine, great for a trellis, arbor or fence.

Blooms: summer to fall.

Before planting, soak overnight and/or cut the seed slightly. The outer casing tends to be very hard and doing so will help the seedling to sprout.

Notes

My current crop of Clark’s Heavenly Blue Morning Glories (Ipomoea Purpurea) was sown from Livingston Seed Co, 830 Kinnear Rd, Columbus, OH 43212.

My aloe decided it wanted to be repotted…

So I spent the day working with my plants, which I haven’t done in a long time. I got to one container of aloe in particular (of the 9 pots of aloe I have…) and I was cleaning it up… and it decided it wanted to be repotted. So I now have 13 overflowing containers of aloe plants! If anyone wants a few shoots or just wants some of the leaves, let me know!
