Thanks for the tips, schoolhouse. I'll try to rig some lines around the mailbox and see where they go from there. The mental image of Medusa hairdo is appropriate. They are prolific growers from day to day in right conditions. It's the only thing my father asked for in my garden binge so I want it to bloom for him. I asked him what he thought I should do next and he said "Let it do whatever it does naturally." I know this is the perennial forum but I wish I had more sunny places at my father's to plant Morning Glories even though they self-seed. Star of Yalta and Grandpa Ott are beautiful colors. I have the seeds but nowhere to grow them with enough sun. I could rig up trellises between holly and evergreen bushes that get full sun for most of the day. I've read these two varieties are prolific self-seeders but if any reseed and grow in the miserably dense clay soil I haven't dug up and repeatedly amended then it's kismet and they have a right to be there...LOL. I might plant some seeds in largish containers around some lavender gladiolus half of which haven't made it through the clay in the spots between the bushes and see if MGs come up. Know it's kind of late in the season to start them but don't have anything to lose. Thanks again.

I am not a morning glory expert. I have found that morning glories do not transplant very well and seem to do better direct seeded into the ground. Also, they like it very warm, and I have found that it has worked best for me to plant in June when the soil is truly warm. Sweet peas like it cold. Because I have had difficulty getting MG and moon flowers to bloom before frost, I have grown them in containers with a very careful and gradual hardening off period.

No. It's not too late- they do not grow well until it's warm. Nice to see you posting again, Natanya. Renee
