Has anyone ever planted Morning Glory seeds before?

I just started plating Morning Glory seeds. This is my first time doing it. It says your suppose to soak the seeds in warm water for 24 Hours? Is that really necessary? I germinated a few in the paper towl method and they are growing great.

Just make sure they have a place to run up.I put mine in cinder blocks with trellis behind them.I loved the hummingbirds they encouraged.....
Reply:I guess if the paper towel is working go that way but, by soaking them they will grow faster I always soak mine and my fence is full of beautiful flowers.........you have to space them also, takes time but it is worth it ~~
Reply:Generally whenever you have a seed with a hard shell you should soak it for 24 hours. The paper towl method also works just as long as you keep it wet. If you can get them to grow by seed then stick to what you're doing. As long as they are sprouting you're doing great!
Reply:nope...when i was a teen i would grind em up and eat em though
Reply:We have planted it them ! and if you have succeeded it with the towel method good for you ! it's usually recommended that the seed should soak to speed the germination process .


Enjoy them , they come back every year ! We have dark purple ones!
