Morning Glory - Heavenly Blue


They just don't like the cold.
Mine are still on a window ledge apart from 2 which go out by day and
in at night. (No greenhouse) Have you still got seed to sow some
more? It is not too late and they germinate so quickly.

What sort of site do they like when they finally are ready to go out? and
how big do they have to be before being planted out?


Somewhere warm in full sun. A wall with netting or trellis is ideal,
though they'll quite happily scramble through shrubs or up posts etc.

They don't need to be very big - just make sure they've got three or
four sets of leaves. Don't plant them out without hardening off and
wait until it's warm or they'll turn yellow and die. If that happens
just plant some more as they grow fast and can be started quite late
in the season. Think of them as tender ornamental bindweed and you
won't go far wrong.
