Oh no...I thought Morning Glories were a trouble free, tough as nails plant! Put in Heavenly Blue at my father's request and they've just gotten their first 2 sets of true leaves. Guess I better put something around them. Running out of rabbit solutions. Lists of "rabbit resistant" plants are getting to be a not so funny joke. I spent hours looking for deer/rabbit resistant plants and have been chasing both away from gardens and anywhere else I see them. I used to shoo away a neighborhood cat that was manacing my ground feeding birds. Yesterday I saw him/her moseying up the alongside the driveway and just pointed him/her toward the giant rabbit hole I found out in the back woods while cutting down invasive vines. Have at it, Kitty. Just leave my birds alone...LOL. Don't like to sound mean or as if I don't know all these critters have a right to be here but I just want to see all the plants have a chance to bloom. Don't have to be perfect or prolific if some leaves are munched...just enough to make me smile and delight in all that color. Come on, bunnies...learn the art of compromise!

Once you plant morning glories you will never have to plant them again :) I have been spending the last month on morning glory patrol trying to keep them out of a "cottage" type bed I have. Every year the morning glories and the wild morning glories/bindweed? takes over that bed. I'm giving it one more year with diligent m/g patrol to see if I can get that bed to succeed without being choked to death. If not, that bed will need to be rethought. I do let them grow on my fences, in spots.

Is it possible for morning glory leaves root? A friend tells me she left some leaves in the bed where the morning glories are growing and she has a few clumps growing other then the ones she planted and this is the first year. I would also like to know why my morning glories are not blooming. They look very healthy but have no flowers or buds on them.

The MG's do well with a Phosphorus based Bloom Booster...despite Myth-conceptions regarding various MG's and 'fertilizers'... Plant 6 to 12 inches apart... All aspects of MG's answered in the multiple threads located in the Forum dedicated to Morning Glories... Hope that helps... Ron Here is a link that might be useful: Dedicated Morning Glory Forum
