Growing Non-GMO Morning Glory Mixed Seeds

Mixed Colors Morning Glory seeds are one of the season’s hardiest performers and are most popularly sown outside after the frost. But for earlier blooming in colder climates, start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks prior. Young seedlings will require early staking or a trellis as they will rapidly vine more than a dozen feet high. Plant 2-3 Mixed Colors Morning Glory seeds according to the spacing desired. Vines planted closer together will be bushier and tend to mound more. Vines spaced farther apart will wind and spindle.

For optimal results: Nick the seeds with a knife to break the seed coating, or soak them in water overnight before planting. Only nick or soak what you will immediately plant. The hard seed coatings need a bit of help to get started. Provide bottom heat and be patient while you wait for the seeds to germinate. Do not let the soil dry out. Once the seedlings have at least two true leaves, gently lift them apart and let them continue to grow in their separate pots. Harden off and plant indoors or out, and enjoy! Morning Glories benefit from a balanced fertilizer every month or so. Pruning is only necessary when desired. Rarely do these need to be pruned when being grown as an annual. As a perennial, they may need to be cut back to keep them a desired size. In warmer climates, it will self-seed.

About Mixed Colors Morning Glory Garden Seeds

Ipomoea purpurea, is a vining variety native to Mexico and various regions of Central and South America. Annual morning glories are often mistaken for their perennial cousin Convolvulus arvensis, or Field Bindweed, which is an aggressive and invasive weed native to Europe. Although they look practically identical, but with larger flowers. Another key to differentiating morning glory from field bindweed is whether the plant withstands frost; morning glory does not have the deep root systems like field bindweed to withstand any long-term chill.

Morning Glories are toxic to dogs, cats, and horses and may cause severe discomfort when ingested by humans as well. While they are less likely to be invasive in the United States, they are still considered invasive or threatening in Arizona, Georgia, Virginia, West Virginia, and Kentucky.
