What makes Morning Glory bloom?

1. Plant morning glory from seed no more than a week before your region's last frost date.


2. Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting to speed germination.


3. Choose a site that has full sun and well-drained, average soil. Working a spade or two of compost into the soil is good idea.


4. Plant seeds about an inch deep. Even if you need just one morning glory, plant at least two or three seeds for insurance. (Pull out the extras when the plants are an inch or so high.)


5. Provide supports. Depending on the morning glory variety, supports need to be 10 to 12 feet high. Check the seed packet for the plants' ultimate height.


6. As the plants grow, start them on their support by gently twining them around the support. They'll take off on their own after that.


7. Keep the plants evenly moist (though morning glories can take a little drought).


8. Fertilize once or twice later in the summer with liquid plant fertilizer.


9. Discard plants after fall frost fells them. You may need to cut twining plants from the support with a pruning shears.

Uh...growth to that point like any other plant? Sun, water, and good dirt?
Reply:Morning Glory's really like poor soil. Do not fertilize them any. Fertilizer just makes them go to vine and they won't bloom. They like full sun to partial shade, and they bloom in the early mornings, closing up when the sun warms them up. Water them if they are wilted in the evening. Sometimes they wilt when the sun is shining directly on them, but at dusk they'll look okay.
