HOW TO GROW
Sowing: In warm climates, seed can be direct sown in spring as soon as the soil reaches a temperature of 70-85 degrees F. For faster germination, nick the seed coat with a sharp knife or soak the seed in warm water overnight. In cooler climates, the seed can be started indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost of spring; plant the nicked seeds 1/4" deep and keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy until germination, which should take place in 7-10 days with adequate warmth. Transplant seedlings as soon as possible after germination, since they resent root disturbance; the soil temperature should be at least 65 degrees F with no chance of frost.
Growing: These plants do well in well-drained moist soil, but also tolerate fairly dry soil; they prefer full sun. The vines grow very quickly, especially in heat; they will need significant support such as a fence or arbor. Without support, they will simply trail along the ground until they find something to climb. This plant self-sows readily, and attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. We cannot sell this seed to customers in AZ or MI.
Harvesting: These blossoms do not perform well as cut flowers, and are best enjoyed in the garden.
Seed Saving: After flowering, this plant will produce seed pods that can be harvested as soon as the husk turns black. Remove the seeds from the husks and store them in a cool, dry place.

Not the seeds' fault!
These all germinated well, but we've been hit with a scorching heat wave and alternating drought/flood, so they never got to flowering. They died miserable deaths. With better conditions, they would have made a very pretty fence line.
Fantastic packaging! Fair pricing
The package is great, both for the initial seed preservation, and for resealing for later. The seeds are already sprouting, so we'll see how they grow.
Wonderful Seeds
I purchased several packets and only used 1 packet. The flowers are growing quickly and are very healthy.
tall mixed morning glory
I bought these last year in a 2 pound bag and they give 'alot' of love to my back yard. They flourish so fast when growing. I have yet to see the flower but I'm sure it will come. I had hopes that I could buy another 2 pound bag, so it will cover all of my fencing. I would recommend this product to everyone. Morning Glories make a person smile in the morning and keep the neighborhood looking so beautiful. Thank you so much for a beautiful plant and a nourishing seed that didn't need any coaxing to grow. Everyone should buy this plant and also 'smile' in the morning. Thank you so much, Sandy
