At what age, or size, or temperature conditions, do morning glories
start to flower?

I have four or five varieties, in various places around the yard, in
various soils. Some are in the ground, some are in pots. Some of them
started from seed, some came as starters from the greenhouse.

One of them is seven feet high.

The weather here has been mostly in the 70s and 80, but once got up to 91.

When can I expect them to flower?

Or do you think I'm doing something wrong?

Thank you,

Ted Shoemaker


This is a question we get every year on the Hort Line. Morning Glories will
ALWAYS bloom unless you planted them really late. But, they are late
bloomers, and usually don't start to flower til mid to late August. The
good news is that by September you should have a spectacular show every
morning. Just one other caveat -- don't fertilize a lot, as every resource
says they prefer poor soil.

Good luck!
