What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Morning Glories are fast-growing vines that perform best when sown directly into their permanent garden home.
-
Pre-Sowing Tip: For the best results, soak seeds overnight in room-temperature water before planting to soften the hard seed coat and accelerate germination.
-
Sow Outdoors: Direct sow in mid to late May once the soil has warmed. Plant seeds 6 mm deep and 7.5 cm apart.
-
Germination: Occurs in approximately 2 weeks.
-
Thinning: Once the vines reach 7.5 cm in height, thin them to a final spacing of 15 cm apart.
-
Transplanting Note: Morning Glories have sensitive root systems and do not transplant well; direct sowing is highly recommended over starting indoors.
-
Care: These vines prefer moist, well-drained soil. If your soil is poor, use a diluted fertilizer frequently. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, as these will encourage massive leaf growth while reducing the number of flowers.
Why Dacapo Light Blue Seeds belong in Your Garden
If you are looking for a climber that offers a softer, more nuanced look than the standard deep purple varieties, Dacapo Light Blue is a perfect choice. Its pastel tones provide a cooling effect in the heat of the summer sun, and the sheer length of the vines makes it a functional solution for creating a living privacy screen. Watching the fresh, exquisite blooms open each morning is one of the true highlights of the summer gardening season.
