Description

(Ipomoea nil). A wildly eye-catching morning glory with snow-white petals speckled and streaked with flamingo pink. Medium-sized saucers, reaching about 2 to 3 inches across, are prolific on 8- to 12-foot vines, and the handsome foliage is variegated!

Growing Tips: Thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. They require minimal care but need support, such as trellises or fences, to climb. Be mindful of their ability to self-seed, as they can spread quickly if left unchecked.

When to Grow

Sow seeds after the last frost, once the soil has warmed to 55 F. In colder areas, you can start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost and transplant them once the weather permits. Morning glories germinate best in temperatures of 65-85 F. Check your USDA hardiness zone to confirm your last frost date. Learn about your area’s hardiness zones and first/last frost dates in our blog post ‘Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.’

How to Sow and Plant

Soak seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours to improve germination. For direct sowing, plant seeds 1/4-1/2 inch deep in well-draining soil, spaced 8-10 inches apart. For indoor sowing, use seed trays with seed-starting mix, and transplant seedlings after the last frost date. Choose a sunny location with support for their rambling vines, and plant in a protected area, away from heavy winds.

How to Grow

Water regularly during germination and early growth, then reduce watering as plants become established. Make sure that they receive full to partial sun for at least 6 hours every day. Avoid over-fertilizing to ensure more flowers than foliage. Provide climbing structures such as trellises or fences, and prune as needed to control growth and spread.

How to Save Seeds

  • When the flowers fade, they leave behind large seed capsules containing large, black seeds.
  • Allow the seeds to dry in a warm area out of direct sunlight for 7 days. Store them in a cool, dark, dry place over the winter.
  • Remember to nick and soak your seeds the night before planting in the spring!
