20 Ipomoea purpurea Morning Glory Seeds UK Climbing Annual Garden Flower
Description
Morning glory, Ipomoea, is a beautiful hardy annual climber native the rainforests of South America. The trumpet-shaped blooms contrast with rich green foliage in summer. Morning glory is easy to raise from seed and grows quickly, making it perfect for growing up obelisks, growing through shrubs and trees, and filling gaps while perennial climbers become established. The flowers open wide in the early morning sun but are short-lived and will not last into the afternoon.
Sowing Direct:
Prepare the ground well and rake to a fine tilth. Sow 1mm (1/18th in) deep in rows 7cm (3in) apart.
Sow seed sparingly or they will choke out other seedlings.
The seedlings will appear in rows approx 3 to 4 weeks after planting and can be easily told from nearby weed seedlings. Thin the seedlings out so they are finally 30cm (12in) apart. Carefully replant thinned plants.
