anyone grown Royal ensign morning glory from seed?
Comments (2)1. Morning glories don't like cold. Perhaps you put them out too soon. I haven't even sown mine yet. 2. As I recall, MGs like to be in the sun, but their roots shaded (accomplished by the mere fact of the plant growing.) Start another batch in a week or two, then put them outside. (Or do them 'winter sowing' style already outside in a milk-jug) Enjoy! I've got the REs in my stash to do, too....See MoreOT - can morning glories be grown in window box?
Comments (10)I've grown MGS in a 6" pot (3 plants) and they flourished! Granted, they were toatally root-bound and it seemed like I was watering them every minute, but you can't argue with this, can you? This homemade trellis (bamboo stakes) was about 8' above the pot, and you can see that the vines grew way past the top of the trellis. The watering issue? I ended up making a "collar" of water (frozen) in a plastic bag for the pot; put tiny pinholes in the plastic. As the sun melted the ice, the plant got water all day and I didn't have to come home in the evening to a totally wilted plant. I've also grown them, successfully, in windowboxes that were even shallower than yours. PV...See MoreMorning Glory grown in a pot ?
Comments (4)alaMel, There are as many answers to that as there are answerers. Even variables like your climate and how often you plan to water will play a part in determining which mixes would work best. I'd recommend doing some reading over at the Container Gardening forum. Al's mixes may be a little overboard for growing Morning Glories, but the thread is just packed with useful info that can help you make better decisions on potting mediums (see link below). Here is a link that might be useful: Container Soils - Water Movement & Retention...See Moreanyone grown hige red akahigezaki japanese morning glory?
Comments (5)I have that one. It's more of a magenta then a true red. It looks just like the pic on the link you posted. I don't do anything different with this one then any of my others. I don't feed often and water when necessary. Honestly I pretty much ignore them. I would hold the seeds and start them in the early spring. If you start them now you probably won't get blooms and it's not a plant that grows well indoors without full spectrum grow lights. There's quite a bit of trading Japanese MG's, including the Hige varieties on the seed exchange. It's a pretty flower. You'll enjoy it....See Moredena_eft
