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.

Okay, any help that I can get would be greatly appreciated. I have started moonflowers early indoors. They came up and were doing fine and then they fell over. I have one left, which I put outside and it's trying to be ok. I have started more outside, but no results. Is there something that I am doing wrong here? I started morning glories in both containers and right in the soil and they are going to town? Just don't understand it. Not all the seeds for the Moonflower were obtained at the same time or the same place so I don't think the seed is tainted. This is my first experience and it's been pretty dismal! Any help greatly appreciated.

You can start inside at different times and transplant to the same large container when you put outside.

You are likely to have good results with any of the Ipomoea nil http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/adv_search.php?searcher%5Bcommon%5D=&searcher%5Bfamily%5D=&searcher%5Bgenus%5D=Ipomoea&searcher%5Bspecies%5D=nil&searcher%5Bcultivar%5D=&searcher%5Bhybridizer%5D=&searcher%5Bgrex%5D=&search_prefs%5Bblank_cultivar%5D=&search_prefs%5Bsort_by%5D=cultivar&images_prefs=with&Search=Search Ipomoea purpurea http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/adv_search.php?searcher%5Bcommon%5D=&searcher%5Bfamily%5D=&searcher%5Bgenus%5D=Ipomoea&searcher%5Bspecies%5D=purpurea&searcher%5Bcultivar%5D=&searcher%5Bhybridizer%5D=&searcher%5Bgrex%5D=&search_prefs%5Bblank_cultivar%5D=&search_prefs%5Bsort_by%5D=cultivar&images_prefs=with&Search=Search Ipomoea tricolor http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/adv_search.php?searcher%5Bcommon%5D=&searcher%5Bfamily%5D=&searcher%5Bgenus%5D=Ipomoea&searcher%5Bspecies%5D=tricolor&searcher%5Bcultivar%5D=&searcher%5Bhybridizer%5D=&searcher%5Bgrex%5D=&search_prefs%5Bblank_cultivar%5D=&search_prefs%5Bsort_by%5D=cultivar&images_prefs=with&Search=Search Ipomoea alba http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/adv_search.php?searcher%5Bcommon%5D=&searcher%5Bfamily%5D=&searcher%5Bgenus%5D=Ipomoea&searcher%5Bspecies%5D=alba&searcher%5Bcultivar%5D=&searcher%5Bhybridizer%5D=&searcher%5Bgrex%5D=&search_prefs%5Bblank_cultivar%5D=&search_prefs%5Bsort_by%5D=cultivar&images_prefs=with&Search=Search Ipomoea turbinata http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/69456/ or Ipomoea macrorhizza http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/65128/ would all be suitable for the moonvines... 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
