Frankly anything i plant anywhere near MG's ends up strangled and then the MG's just trail along through the plants all around and through the gardens. So i was constantly pulling them out of Gerber's Hostas and the like. The only place i will have MG's anymore is right on the chain link fences. They don't bother trailing through the grass, because their trailing vines are all well above the grass line. The only problem with them on the fences, is they look like crap in winter or i have to clean up the fencing, one or da tuther.

Hey Deewah, I sent you an e-mail. GO check it out! Thanks! Meadow

My ivy leafed small light blue morning glories bloomed first and got to about four foot tall. The Early morning, or tall mix got tallest at about ten foot and bloomed much later. Because they needed to be sown after frost I didn't see a lot of difference between my direct sown and winter sown. I didn't use the best soil though and my drainage was bad. This year I'm doing more and will be direct sowing for ease of planting out.

Plant out when the ground and night temperature is consistently warm, like over 55 F. I plant out after Mother's Day in northern Delaware. You'll be growing some of my favorites. Be sure to post flower and leaf photos here in the forum.
