stunted morning glories
 

Hi,

I started a couple dozen morning glories indoors way before I should
have. They were started in peat pots and got a little out of control so I
had to plant them outside before it was routinely warm.
They never went through a frost but endured a week or two of temps in
the 30's / low 40's. Now they appear healthy and green except that they are
not growing or twining. A couple of them even had flowers this morning, but
the plants are only about 4 inches high and giving no indication that
they're going to grow any more. They had long vines when I put them
outside, but the vines died and the rest of the plant survived.
I was just wondering if you think they might recover and cover my fence
or if they are probably permanantly stunted? Would a little nitrogen help
get them going? Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,

p.s. They were of several varieties ...grandpa ott, flying saucer, heavenly
blue, pearly gates, and some moonflowers

Impomoea alba? That HATES the cold. It has been a miserable spring
in the UK (and still is, despite being officially summer), and mine
are still stunted. Don't despair, all of the morning glories will
recover as it warms up. Which it will with you - even if not here.
