Hello! Thank you and all that offer their extra's! I am not new to gardening but have been away from it for a long time. I have a new house with lot's of land now and I am looking forward to getting things growing again. I have missed its so very much! I have told my grandchildren about the gardens I use to have and want to teach them how to grow and bring beauty into their lives with gardening! Thank you Ellen

I'm new to ws but belong to the OK GW. One of our saying is friends don't let friends grow Morning glory or Cane poleIf u have a garden. I've got u all beat. I moved to a new place 9 yrs ago. Wanted to spruce the place up my 1st spring I planted a packet of MG I'M still trying to get rid of them 9 years later. I won't use chemicales but I start pulling in Jan when there's a warm spell and even in dec last year our winter was so warm. I weed eat them I mow them I dig them up to those who want them a 12 month 9 yr battle and they survive. Yes so pretty but wow agressive. Tree

Finally someone who knows morning glorys!! i took some seeds from my neighbors morning glorys that come up every year. i also buy plants from my local nursery that are annual here in my MN climate. today i finally planted 4 morning glory plants that i bought but could not plant because of the weather. i had them outdoors when the temps were 50 degrees or higher during the day and then brought them in. i planted 2 heavenly blue plants and 2 mixed colored plants and by 6pm tonight the heavenly blue plants were practically dead with the leaves 100% limp. the mixed colored plants are doing just fine so i am wondering why this is? also, the leaves on the HB and the mixed ones are different. in addition, the morning glorys that keep coming up (from my neighbor) have different leaves also!! i too am clipping this post. thanks for any info you can provide me with!!

redyoyo - The situation you describe is typical and although the vines often wilt during the day,the intensity of the heat and sun in your area will require that you make certain that the vines have sufficient water during the hottest part of the day... You can hook up some type of automatic watering system on a timer to water the vines during the day...otherwise growing the vines in a large container with a large water resevoir under the container will be required to maintain proper hydration during the intense heat of your days... You can also choose to grow some of the tropical prennial species that have a large perennial root system which will help to maintain adequate hydration during the hottest part of the day there in Malaysia...
