Do you like to grow morning glory?
Comments (95)Is this a Morning Glory? If so, what variety? If not, then what is it? The bloom is about 3/4" across.. Here is a link that might be useful: Morning Glory Flowers...See MoreGrowing morning glory on roses
Comments (17)I'm in Zone 5 and had a LOT of reseeding. However, I think it depends on what variety you plant -- some reseeded better than others for me. As for being "invasive", they're not actually perennial in this zone, and the babies from the reseeding are very easy to identify and pull up the next year. Or just wait another week and the danged rabbits will take care of it for you -- I think my MGs had a sign that said "all you can eat buffet" this year. ;o)...See MoreGrowing morning glories in a large flower pot
Comments (7)Been doing it for years, actually forgotten how many now because it's been so long. I use MG potting mix for soil, just the regular, not the moisture retention kind. Found that became a hit or miss problem, depending on how much rain did or didn't fall and for how long. If we had too much rain, which in NE, one never knows what will happen, then the soil stayed so moist that the seedlings/plants would die of root rot. I put cheap coffee filters on the bottom of the pot to cover all the holes, fill with the potting mix, and then place about 1/2 inch layer of bark mulch on top of the soil. If I am having cubic yards delivered I use that, otherwise a buy a bag of it at Kmart or some place like that. One seedling per pot and I use 10-12 inch pots for the ones on the ground, and same size for hanging pots that I place on my shepard hooks. The pots that go on the ground have a plastic green garden stake in the center of the pot beside the seedling and as it grows I wrap the vine around it and eventually itself. The hanging pots I just put one seedling in the center of the pot and as it grows I wrap it around the hangers on the pot and itself.

Comments (2)You can keep it up but it's probably not necessary as long as the bars on the railing aren't too widely spaced. The MG's will grow thru the chicken wire just fine....See MoreJay 6a Chicago
