Some
people resist planting Morning Glory's out of fear that they take over
and become hard to get rid of. In reality, they have been
unfairly given a bad name. Although they share common names with
a weedy, intrusive plant, their botanical name is Ipomoea and
although they may self-sow in some areas, they do not spread via
underground runners like Wild Morning Glory' or Bindweed (Convolvulus
arvensis).
Morning
Glory seeds are hard seeded and germination may be improved by nicking
the seed coat and/or soaking overnight prior to planting. Start
seeds indoors a few weeks before your last frost date or directly in
the garden after all danger of frost has past. Germination may
take up to 3 weeks.
