Anyone have any experiences with morning glory seeds?

If so, please share

Anyone have any experiences with morning glory seeds?
They quickly grow out of control.


I grow them to cover the front of my mobile home as a shade plant. They block out a lot of light and heat coming in that particular window. But they will re-seed the area and come back the following year with no help from you.


But the are beautiful. No prettier sight than an ugly old trailer covered in Morning glories.
Reply:Farmers call morning glories bind weed as it tangles up their equipment. You shouldn't have any trouble growing them outside. I have some "volunteer" morning glories that grow under my porch, through the cracks of the cement.
Reply:I usually place the seeds on a wet paper towel and wait until they sprout and plant directly in the ground after frost passes. They don't seem to transplant well if grown indoors first. My favoutite are "Heavenly Blue". I have a small flowering sandcherry tree that blossoms in early spring. I plant my seeds beneath after there is no signs of frost and hang green string down around the trunk. In late summer, I have a morning glory tree that makes quite a conversation piece.
Reply:Yes, I tried growing them indoors as an experiment once and the vines get outta control fast! If you want the flowers to blossom, grow them outside and make sure it's not too hot outside. You can try growing them indoors first where it's protected from harsh weather and then bring it out when the vines get long enough to drape around something.





Also, if you didn't know already, they're scentless. So if you're looking to grow nice smelling flowers, this isn't the one. But they're really pretty when they bloom.
