Sowing Instructions

 

Sow seeds individually in pots or modules of moist well drained compost. Lightly cover with fine soil and maintain temperatures at 18 to 21°C. Germination usually occurs within 1 to 2 weeks. Harden off and plant out after last frost, spacing 30 to 40 cm apart. For direct sowing, wait until soil is warm and frost risk has passed. Provide support such as trellis or netting for climbing.

 

Grow and Maintenance

 

Water regularly during dry spells and feed lightly with a balanced fertiliser to encourage abundant blooms. Train stems onto supports and remove spent flowers to maintain a tidy display. Morning Glory thrives in sunny positions and will reward with a long season of vibrant colour.
