hi. first, are the yellowing leaves near the bottom? if so, don't worry too much. this is pretty common. also, you should maybe cut back on watering (not enough so they'll wilt but not excessively either) and try to water the foilage itself as little as possible. i planted mine a month ago - they have nearly reached the sky but no flowers yet. when they flower it should be amazing (i hope) and will post a pic. i used a huge piece of the wire grating (?) stuff builders use when pouring cement sidewalks, cut it with metal cutters to fit an arch in the side wall and the foilage is just filling up like mad. i too have a few yellow ones at the bottom but just leave them. also, i planted a variety (from seed) of purple and orange ones according to the pic on packet (ipomea mixed compositae) from seed to just wanter around the garden and am waiting to see the results! let us know what is happening with yours. good luck dory

I love growing morning glories and mine have been blooming lately. I always get some leaves that turn yellow and brown, etc. As long as I get my beautiful flowers I don't mind too much. They can always get discarded. As a matter of fact, my vines grow so vigorously that I pull some of the big green leaves away so the blossoms will be more exposed. I think it is just probably a common occurence with Morning Glories.

I gotta chime in here. Im a HUGE MG/ MF fan, and have grown them for about 5 years now out of those big green (maybe 12" long by 8"W by 10" deep containers.) As jenny can probably attest from photos,( and HEY Jenny! great to "see" you again) my MG's and MF's got about 25' or so, from the above mentioned conatinaers, with about 3-5 plants per container. With good soil, and good sunlight, they will GROW and GROW and GROW. MGs and MFs dont "LIKE" poor soil, however they will produce more booms, much earlier in poor soil. When there is an abundance of nutriants available for the plant to grow, it will do just that FIRST, GROW. Thus producing blooms later in the season. You will end up with very LARGE leaves on very LARGE vines until about July, t hen you will start producing blooms. In Poor soil, the vines can be somewhat "spindly" or small, and the leaves will be smaller as well, however you will produce more flowers, earlier. It all depends on why you are growing them. If its ONLY for flowers, grow in poor soil with little nutriants, and youll get lots of blooms on fairly young plants. If it is for foliage ( and blooms) grow them in good, nutriant rich soil, and feed them miracle grow once a month, and youll have HUGE plants with HUGE leaves ( for privacy) that will stay that way most of the year. BUT, they wont start really producing massive blooms until half way thru july. SO you see, you are largely in control of the types of vines you get, and the amount/ timing of the blooms you get. rest assured though, that in the end ( late summer into sept) you will get massive amounts of flowers on both vines irregardless of the poor or nutriant rich soils you choose to use. Hope that helps! NPG
