This was a great learning video. Thank you for posting it. Your pleasant voice and excellent photography made it a joy to watch.
Beautiful. I have a wall of these between my yard area and neighbors driveway in RV park. Bamboo frame and wire and twine 12 feet high 15 feet long. She's filling in fast. Beautiful and sheep neighbors complained, what's this eye sore ? I laugh and said wait a month or ,2. I will have the most beautiful privacy wall. Sheep just don't think for themselves. Hence our nation of Canada is going to chit. Society of sheep cowards. I would rather be in my garden. I don't play well with others. Beautiful channel thank you. Support and love it all
Thanks. Just bought morning glory seeds. I fell in love with this plant when I lived in a different home 10 years ago, my neighbor's fence that divided our homes had beautiful morning glories. She also planted the moon flower plant not too far from the morning glories. My current house has morning glories that the prev owner planted facing west and hardly get any good sun, you can see a few little leaves and flowers trying their best to grow. Maybe I'll transplant them. Thanks for the great info!
Thank you for the info! this is my first season with this flower and im super excited!
I love how you relocate the moth caterpillars!
Thank you 🙏 the best information I could find for Canadian climate
What a wealth of information!!! Thank you so much!!!🤠👍🏻
Thank you so much. This was the best site for the information I needed.❤
Wow, thank you! Thanks also for the advice with a moon flower😃👍
Heavenly Blue morning glories are hybrids and will not produce blue flowers the next year. Instead, they will bloom into a smaller purple and white flower. I did get some pink blooms the third year after letting the second season's seeds fall to the ground.
Wow I had no idea! Interesting.
It might be your neighbors’ seeds because I’ve grown the seeds over again and they haven’t changed color, the blue color is natural and is related to other wild species.
@@znul Heavenly Blue Morning Glories are hybrids but there are other blue morning glories that are not.
My neighbors did not grow any morning glories.
Hybrids do not look the same look the same in the second generation.
@@vernonfrance2974 Heavenly blue is Ipomoea Tricolor, the smaller ones might be Ipomoea Purpurea, check the stems to see if they are fuzzy, if not, interesting observation.
Thanmk you. Truly adorable channell. Informative videos for plant lovers.
Learning a lot!
Thank you for the tips for growing morning glory’s . I will look for moon flower seeds 😊
Thanks for your knowledge
Well summarised!
Thanks for sharing, very helpful info ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your lovely information with me
a tea made with the morning glory seeds is very pleasant, recommend it!
Very informative.
Thank you for info ❤
I like to grow these morning glories and moon flowers with passion fruit up sunflowers and canna lilies
Thank you , now I know what to do
.
Thanks 🥰
I'd love to hear your take on soil blocks for starting seeds. Thank you!
This was great....
Charming...
Nice video
if you have any squirrels or chipmunks, they LOVE morning glories! they stripped the leaves off of my pot of them last year. so this year Im making cages around them with 1/4" hardware cloth til they get some height to them. My whole yard will be covered in hardware cloth tents , might work, they eat sprouts of everything!
I see some confuse Jimson weed/Datura for moonflower vine. Datura grows all over here, (NC) . Fortunately we never had a problem with the dogs or horses bothering it. Most animals have a keen sense to avoid toxic plants. Morning glories are like weeds here too. Moon flower vines are a little more work to sprout but worth it for night gardens.
I’ll tell you how to plant and grow morning glories
Ps: this is only for people who live in Texas because they grow the best here
Find some where it can grow upwards plant the seed in the ground water it every evening and LEAVE IT I swear they’re weeds in Texas they grow perfectly anywhere
rê quá bạn ơi😄
You are a wealth of knowledge. Can't believe I just found your channel. What part of TX are you gardening?
Denton, Tx
@@Experientialgardenertexas I'm from north central AR, so our weather is fairly similar

Hello,
My morning glory plant has a lot of buds, but the buds dry up and do not bloom. Kindly suggest.
I inititally kept it where the plant gets early morning sunlight and late evening sunlight.
Then, I kept it on terrace under full sun (43-45 degree C)
Still, no blooms. Just a lot of buds which are dry up and drop. I water it in small quantity, thrice as the heat is too much
try growing blue morning glories next to Hollyhocks! the flowers are the same size and its quite a show!
They are Heavenly
I love that color.
Now question,
Have you grown convolvulus bush type morning glory ❓
They emerged easily from seed
And I'm waiting to see what comes out.
M.m
Any tips? My MG has diseased leaves. What should I do?
If these are planted in the ground up against brick house, will it just climb up the brick? Or would it still need a trellis structure to be put against the brick? Thanks
it's been 2 months since the seeds sprouted, and the majority are still under 6 inches long, only two of the 20 or so plants have grown longer than that.
My neighbor grew hers near a light post. I tried the same, but it won't climb up it. It is in full sun, gets water and I threw Miracle Grow on it. Any ideas? Thr plant was a small plant bought at a nursery.
I rent so I’m limited to my location of sunlight. I planted my MG seeds in starter pre-cut water bottles and then planted them into the ground in front of a cute little wood fence on the edge of my patio area. To my surprise they have taken off! They get a little bit of morning sunlight and a few hours of the afternoon sunlight. I live in South Louisiana where it’s very hot and very humid. Now it’s the beginning of May (2023), afternoon temps in the upper 80’s. The leaves started to look wilted so I started watering them every evening but by the next afternoon the leaves were still wilted although the ground was still damp. I started watering them in the early morning and in the evening and the leaves have stopped wilting, but how do I know if I’m watering them too much? Some of my older leaves have holes in them and
also had yellowing around the edges. What is the cause and how do I fix those problems? 🤦🏻♀️ TY☺️
Sounds like you have some pests eating your plants. You can try pesticides but if you have pets or grow plants for consumption nearby you can look up natural deterrents. Personally I have a problem with garden slugs, who love damp soil and eat roots in my potted plants, so I started sprinkling used coffee grounds around my jasmine (which prefers acidic soil anyway). If it's caterpillars eating your morning glories, you may have to remove them by hand (or encourage birds to visit, who will happily eat the caterpillars). Soil should be moist but not soggy. If you don't have good drainage, you could possibly be overwatering, but it's hard to say because the amount of water they need will depend on many variables including wind, heat, depth of soil, drainage, etc.
Can they grow up trees?
Most of my MG seeds have a hard ball blocking their cotyledons. They are 5 days in soil. Inside of that ball is beautiful greenery. Will their seed head fall off on its own or should I consider creative surgery?
I just imagine them struggling and fighting to survive…me. Should I try to help them or is this a battle all morning glories fight on their own? Idk.
I think if you just water it enough it should come off.
Plant in containers as they will take over your garden 😮
Mine grow like a bush theirs like 2 flowers and so many leaves
Moonflower + morning glory sounds like a crazy trip 😂😂
Go for it. Your local hospital takes reservations.
Also do you water them daily or how often?
Also when seeding, do you cover the seeds in a bag (greenhouse) or do you just use the the sunlight?
Also when in seeds, do you put them in direct sunlight to germinate?
They love the sun, I soak them overnight then plant them in the ground. I am in Zone 8a
@@Experientialgardenertexas thank you! Same here. I’m in Fort Worth. I just got the package from Target, so I will try them out this week as it’s getting better (above freezing weather)
Do you suggest keeping them outside during the day (70s degree)but inside overnight as it’s still in the 40s in the morning/night?
I bought seeds online. Are the cotyledon supposed to be purplish?
Depends on the variety and the intensity of the light! I've had some with a purple or reddish tint. No worries.
Thanks. They survived somehow, now it's just a matter of waiting to see the flowers to know if they're really heavenly blue.
Then I have to save seeds to see if it was the heirloom variety.
I can't quite hear what else is attracted to them besides the hawk moth?
Never mind, I got it.
Isn't there a difference between Heavenly Blues and tri-color? Or is this more of seed companies relying on the customers to not know the difference?
tri color is a group of morning glories that includes some othe types, like flying saucers morning glory, as well
Can it climb on a tree?
Yes!
Are morning glory and nilkantha flower same??
No, but some varieties look somewhat similar, so I can understand why you might wonder that. Morning glories are in the genus Ipomoea (Ipomoea tricolor, Ipomoea alba, Ipomoea purpura, etc.) and are native to Northern & Central America. Nilkantha flowers are Clitoria ternatea and are native to India. Nilkantha flowers are in the family Fabaceae, and thus are actually more closely related to "sweet peas." Morning glories are in the same family as sweet potatoes.
This are the ones that if you eat the seed you get high
Yes, morning glory seeds contain the alkaloid d-lysergic acid amide, an entheogenic (psychedelic) compound with comparable yet milder effects than LSD. I suggest you gain a wealth of information on the compound before you ever consider eating it. Do not eat commercial seeds as they are more often than not treated with extremely toxic methyl mercury.
Jimson Weed
Also known as Datura or Moonflower, this often fantastic looking weed is packed full of poison that could kill your dog. This harmless looking green weed produces a white flower, and if your dog ingests the plant, he's at risk of the poison quickly taking hold of the body.
Jimson weed is not the same as moonflower shown here. Totally different plants.
Realize these are toxic to pets so do not plant were your dogs or other pets can reach them. I love them but decided not to plant just for this reason they can also become invasive turning to a weed that takes over.
How to grow morning glories? Pfff. Throw them in the ground and run for your life.
Funny! In My experience they seemed to take forever to get to the flowering part. I planted them alongside my patio and up over the cover. They finally bloomed on top of my patio where I couldn't see the flowers.
