Plenty of Places to Plant! Morning Glories are one of the best flowers to adorn fences, trellis, arches, and walls. Morning Glory (Ipomoea Purpurea Shiva) This vining Ipomoea Shiva easily establishes from flower seed and has gorgeous white trumpet-shaped flowers with a rose star. The Shiva flower typically opens in the morning time, and the delicate flower fades with the advancing sunlight. Growing morning glories from seed is very rewarding! Because the seeds of this Morning Glory have a hard coat, nicking the seed coat with a knife tip or rubbing the seeds with a piece of sandpaper will improve germination. After nicking the flower seeds, place them in a bowl and soak overnight in warm water and sow the following day. Provide a trellis or pergola, and this climber will climb it! You can even allow it to scramble through shrubs and borders. Morning Glory vine care includes deadheading as needed to prevent seeding and to ensure prolific blooming. If you want your morning glories to self-sow the following spring, then leave some of the dead flowers on the vine in order for it to drop its flower seed.

Soak the seeds in water overnight prior to sowing, then sow into starter trays or packs with a sterile starter mix. Seeds should be planted at a depth of 1/2 inch.
