When should I plant my morning glory seeds?

Spring has just begun and I want to grow some morning glories this spring/summer. I had these flowers before many times but I'm not sure which is the best time to plant these seeds because it has been a while since I last remember when to plant them. When is the best time to plant morning glory seeds near delaware and pennsylvannia?

When should I plant my morning glory seeds?
I am guessing you are zone 6-7? Maybe 7b? If so, then the last week in April. Morning Glories are good even if the soil is poor, but you should test your soil before any planting. Morning Glories do not transplant well, so direct sowing is recommended. You will want to soak them overnight first. Do NOT confuse this with what the gentlemen below me is referring to, which is wild Morning Glory or Bindweed(which we in CT call-Bindweed) they are two different species. It will reseed itself depending on conditions. You can save your seeds very easily for planting in other areas. Do you know when your last frost usually falls? I am in zone 6a-6b, and ours is the 2nd to 3rd week in May, depending on the full moon.
Reply:Put 'em in the ground as soon as the earth is warm, %26amp; no chance of frost. Also not too deep. Maybe 1/2 inch.
Reply:AS soon as the soil temperture reaches 65 - 70 degrees.
Reply:AFTER all danger of frost has passed, I would guess early to mid May in your part of the country.


Here in the Midwest, they grow naturally in the cornfields, commonly known by farmers as "Bindweed" as they clog up a combine when harvesting corn or soybeans in the fall.


They emerge after the corn and soybeans have been planted, usually middle to late May.


Yes, they are a beautiful flower, and ANNOYING weed!!!


Depends upon whether it's in your flower garden, or in the crops. Good Luck...!!!
Reply:yipes! well here in cali.. now is the perfect time to plant them, but in delaware? i guess after your last major frost. i suppose you can pot them indoors now and wait until they're big enough to take the weather outside. then you can transplant them into your garden. like maybe mid may.


ps morning glorys are soooo pretty!
