Morning glory flowers are renowned for their daily ritual of unfurling with the first light of dawn and closing with the setting sun. Despite their fleeting lifespan of just one day, their profusion and allure have captivated gardeners for generations. Early Japanese and Chinese civilizations held a particular reverence for this plant, appreciating both its visual charm and medicinal properties. Historical records also indicate that ancient communities in Mexico and South America utilized the sticky sap from morning glory vines as a crucial component in latex production.

The delicate allure of morning glory flowers has been celebrated across cultures and epochs, gracing gardens with their ephemeral beauty and symbolic significance. Their transient nature, coupled with their abundance and historical significance, continues to enchant gardeners worldwide. From ancient medicinal practices to contemporary garden aesthetics, morning glories persist as a timeless emblem of natural splendor and human ingenuity.

How To Grow

Sowing: In regions with warm climates, blue star morning glory seeds can be sown directly into the soil in spring when the temperature reaches 21-29 degrees Celsius. To expedite germination, make a small cut in the seed coat with a sharp knife or soak the seeds in warm water overnight. In cooler areas, start the seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last spring frost. Plant the treated seeds 6 millimeters deep and ensure the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged until germination, which typically occurs in 7-10 days with adequate warmth. Transplant the seedlings promptly after germination, avoiding root disturbance. Ensure the soil temperature is at least 18 degrees Celsius and there is no risk of frost.

Growing: Maintain well-watered but not saturated soil for blue star morning glory plants, which thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. The vines exhibit rapid growth, particularly in warm conditions, necessitating sturdy support like a fence or arbor. Without adequate support, the vines will trail along the ground until they find suitable climbing structures. These plants readily self-sow and are attractive to bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.

Harvesting

Blue star morning glory blossoms are not ideal for use as cut flowers and are best appreciated in the garden.

Seed Saving

After flowering, the plant produces seed pods that can be harvested once the husk turns black. Extract the seeds from the husks and store them in a cool, dry location.
