Select the optimal location for the morning glory

Morning glories love warmth and light

The numerous varieties and color crossings of morning glory originally come from Mexico, so they can cope well with high temperatures and a certain drought. The optimal location in the garden is:

  • protected from wind
  • as sunny as possible
  • rather calcareous in terms of substrate (morning glories don't like acidic soil)

Morning glories are sometimes very sensitive to low temperatures and waterlogging at the roots. With a canopy (as is common with tomatoes), the morning glory flowers can be protected from falling off in heavy rain.

Various climbing aids for the morning glory

So that garden fences and other trellises can be greened even faster by the morning glory, young plants grown from the seeds are usually planted outdoors from the end of May. While tree trunks can also serve as climbing aids for the morning glory in the garden, nets and bamboo sticks are ideal as climbing aids on the balcony.

Tips

The easy-to-maintain morning glory is often used to visually embellish ugly old garden fences or stacks of firewood during the gardening season.
