Forgot to soak moonflower/morning glory seeds before planting!
Comments (10)I planted moon flower seed about three weeks ago and some of them came up grew to about two inches high and turned brown and died before i got a chance to plant them in the ground. the other seeds did not grow at all. what did i do wrong i soaked them and nicked them kept them in the house in the little greenhouse you get from walmart and took the cover off when the leaves touched the top. Should I check the seeds that didn't grow for rot or should I just leave them alone. I think i need to start over with new seeds if i do should i do anything different? I started morning glorys at the same time and they seem to be small and only half of those came up. I live in zone six in CT i don't know if that makes any difference....See MoreWeird Morning Glory Seed Question
Comments (6)sounds like the morning glory you are growing have crossed with another morning glory and that is why the seeds are a different color. I would venture to guess that the seeds are ripe and viable as there are several MG that have a whitish color seed. I had some seeds for a morning glory called Sydney that I sowed. All the seeds where very small and a whitish color. The blooms on 3 of the vines where sydney, the blooms on the 4th vine where different and when I collected the seeds from that 4th bloom, the seeds where black, but the same size and appearance of the tiny sydney seeds. I grew those seeds separately this year and the flowers from that 4th vine where different again, but the whitish ones bloomed sydney. You may or may not be growing a star of yelta as well but thought you where. I would post your question over on the vine forum as there is a person Ron, who knows a great deal about morning glory and may be able to give you a better answer than I have. It would also be good if you could post a picture of the flower that you got those whitish seeds from when you post on the vine forum. Fran...See MoreMorning Glory white seeds??
Comments (25)I’m not sure if anyone still follows this thread...but I am thankful I found it. Also, interesting to note: I started a pack of morning glory seeds store bought (All black). I started all indoors and then planted half in a few hanging baskets and half in the ground. The ones in the basket produced smaller leaves, the flowers were typical of the morning glory. The ones in the ground produced giant leaves, same typical flowers, and it turned into an amazing beast. When harvesting the seeds, all the seeds from the small leaved (leafed?) pots were black. The majority of “sweetums” ( the giant muppet monster/what my large morning glory resembled) have been white. I am separating the different seeds to see what they produce next year....See Morebrowning morning glories
Comments (2)I live in the Sacramento, CA region and have been growing morning glories on chain-link fence for years. It gets over 100 degrees quite often in the summer. The large metal posts get hot, but it doesn't seem to affect my plants too much, especially once the leaves start shading the posts. The chain-link doesn't get that warm at all. I can put my hands on it with no discomfort. Because of the spacing of the wires, my thought is that it functions as a radiator to disperse the heat quite nicely...
