Morning glory mix brings together climbing annuals of Ipomoea purpurea. The flowers may be purple, white, pale pink, pale blue or dark pink: the palette varies among plants, creating a lively display on a support. Provide a stake or trellis about 2 m (6.6 ft) tall as soon as the plants are set out. The seed supplier recommends full sun and average to rich soil. To enjoy the flowers easily, place the support in an open area where the stems can climb. The mix suits a seasonal project: its appeal lies in its range of colours, without promising identical proportions in every sowing.

The confirmed sowing depth is 1 cm (0.4 in). The grower specifies 15 cm (5.9 in) spacing between plants. A stable temperature generally encourages more uniform emergence. Germination time can vary with the moisture and temperature of the growing medium. For better results, keep the growing medium slightly moist during germination without saturating it. Once the plants are established, water as needed, taking rainfall, drainage and heat into account. Regular observation of the foliage lets you quickly adjust watering and care. A light mulch can help moderate moisture fluctuations once the plants are well established.

This variety can share a planting with other plants, provided that their requirements for light and for soil are similar. Observing the flowers at the right stage lets you fully enjoy the variety's ornamental qualities. This variety naturally fits into an ornamental planting suited to its growth habit. These flower seeds offer a clearly described option for planning a gardening project suited to the season. Keep the packet dry and follow the specific information on the product sheet to plan sowing. Gradual acclimatization is recommended before outdoor planting when seeds have been started indoors.

Growing method

Morning glory mix. Before opening the packet, prepare the seed-starting supplies and this crop's future growing site. A clean surface, suitable soil and a label prevent unnecessary handling once the seeds are in place. Keep the packet dry so that the instructions specific to the seed lot remain available. This plant is grown as an annual. The blooms feature flowers in various colours: purple, white, pale pink, pale blue and dark pink. Growing this plant requires a stake 2 metres (6.6 ft) tall. Choose full sun with average to rich soil. Plan to start seeds indoors in early May. Transplant or sow directly in June when nighttime temperatures no longer fall below 10 °C (50 °F). The indicated sowing depth is 1 cm (0.4 in). Prepare to sow flower seeds according to the depth and schedule specific to the species. Keep the surface moist with gentle watering to avoid displacing the seeds. Providing the seedlings with enough light as they emerge helps reduce the stretching of their young stems. Plants started indoors need gradual acclimatization to their outdoor exposure before planting. Morning glories develop twining stems that need support from the time they are planted.

Soil and care

The right care,at the right time.

Care level

Moderate

Watering

Morning glory mix. Check moisture in the root zone before deciding whether to water. Rainfall, wind conditions and the exposure of the container all influence how frequently you need to provide water. Choose full sun with average to rich soil. During establishment, check moisture near the roots and water gently at the base. A plant in a planter does not always receive as much rain as a garden bed, especially under an eave.

Soil type

Morning glory mix. The soil must allow roots to receive water and then let excess water drain away. Prepare the soil without working it when it is waterlogged, and address compaction or standing water first. Choose full sun with average to rich soil. During establishment, check moisture near the roots and water gently at the base. A plant in a planter does not always receive as much rain as a garden bed, especially under an eave.

Fertilization

Morning glory mix. Adjust feeding to the actual fertility of the soil or the nutrients already in the growing mix. Soil that is already fertile does not automatically require another application. Follow the chosen fertilizer's instructions, and avoid feeding more when roots are struggling with poor drainage. Choose full sun with average to rich soil. During establishment, check moisture near the roots and water gently at the base.

Moisture

Even moisture without saturation

Seasonal care

Morning glory mix. Early in the growing period, check emergence and the condition of young roots before changing care. Carry out thinning, transplanting and the installation of supports while the plants are still at a stage that allows careful handling. Throughout the growing season, observe the plant after rainfall, during windy periods and following episodes of hot weather. Remove genuinely diseased parts and keep tools clean. At the end of the growing period, sort the debris, clean containers and store remaining seeds in a dry place. This plant is grown as an annual. The blooms feature flowers in various colours: purple, white, pale pink, pale blue and dark pink. Growing this plant requires a stake 2 metres (6.6 ft) tall.

Plants started indoors need gradual acclimatization to their outdoor exposure before planting.

Container growing

A garden,within reach.

Morning glory mix. When growing in a container, consider the available root space, the drainage and the access to light as a whole. Choose a stable pot with clear drainage holes and a growing mix intended for containers. A decorative planter without a drainage outlet should hold an inner pot with drainage holes. Keep the container accessible so that you can check the growing medium rather than watering without inspection. This plant is grown as an annual. The blooms feature flowers in various colours: purple, white, pale pink, pale blue and dark pink. Growing this plant requires a stake 2 metres (6.6 ft) tall. Choose full sun with average to rich soil. Plan to start seeds indoors in early May. Transplant or sow directly in June when nighttime temperatures no longer fall below 10 °C (50 °F). The indicated sowing depth is 1 cm (0.4 in). Morning glories develop twining stems that need support from the time they are planted. Guide the young shoots toward the trellis without tying their stems tightly. Place this structure in a bright area where it will not cover lower-growing plants. Keep access clear to control the spread of the vines and observe the flowers, which open mainly in the morning.
