How To Grow

Sowing: In regions with warm climates, seeds can be directly sown in spring once the soil temperature reaches 21-29 degrees Celsius. To expedite germination, make a small cut in the seed coat using a sharp knife or soak the seeds in warm water overnight. In cooler climates, begin indoor seed starting 6-8 weeks before the final spring frost. Plant the treated seeds 6 mm deep and maintain consistently moist soil until germination, which typically occurs within 7-10 days under warm conditions. Transplant seedlings promptly after germination to avoid root disturbance, ensuring soil temperatures are at least 18 degrees Celsius with no risk of frost.

Growing: These plants thrive in well-drained, moderately moist soil, although they can tolerate periods of drought. They prefer full sun exposure. The vines exhibit rapid growth, especially in warm conditions, necessitating sturdy support such as a fence or arbor. Without adequate support, they will sprawl along the ground until they encounter a structure to climb. Heavenly Blue Morning Glory plants readily self-sow and attract pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Please note that we are unable to sell Heavenly Blue Morning Glory seeds to customers in Arizona or Michigan.

Harvesting

These blossoms are not well-suited for use as cut flowers and are best appreciated directly in the garden.

Seed Saving

Following flowering, the plant will develop seed pods that are ready for harvest once the husks turn black. Collect Heavenly Blue Morning Glory seeds from the husks and store them in a cool, dry location for future planting.
