I have some morning glory of the heavenly blue variety climbing up a
small trellis and they produce around 50 very beautiful flowers each
day at the moment.

The problem is that they are all concentrated near the top of the
trellis.

Yes, that's the point of a climbing plant - it climbs to get free of the
vegetation that would otherwise crowd it out, and when it reaches the
top, it flowers.

What could I do next year to make them flower lower down?

Don't grow them on the trellis. Use a lower support. They'll flower once
they start moving horizontally rather than vertically.


Will cutting off the growing shoots make them branch out and flower
lower?

No.

Is there a good plant that I could combine with morning glory to
complement the display?
