Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Split Second morning glory is a fast-growing heirloom variety. It thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. It has rambling vines and provides flowers all summer, making it ideal for fences, trellises, and arbors. Provide sturdy support and monitor the growth of the vines as they can self-seed in the right conditions.
When to Grow
Plant Split Second morning glory seeds after the last frost date in your area, once the soil has warmed to 55 F. In colder climates, you can start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost to extend the growing season. These heat-loving plants thrive in warm weather, so make sure to plant them in a sunny location for optimal growth and blooming. If you’re unsure of your last frost date, consult our blog post ‘Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.’
How to Sow and Plant
Prepare seeds by soaking them in warm water for 12-24 hours to break their hard seed coat and encourage germination. Sow seeds directly in the garden, planting them 1/4-1/2 inch deep and spacing them 8-10 inches apart in well-draining soil. For indoor starts, plant seeds in seed trays filled with seed-starting mix and keep them in a warm, sunny spot. Once the seedlings have grown and the risk of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors, ensuring they have a climbing structure to support their growth.
How to Grow
Water seedlings regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Once the plants are established, they require minimal watering. Avoid excessive fertilization, as it can lead to more foliage and fewer flowers. Provide support like trellises, fences, or arbors, and prune as necessary to control growth and prevent overcrowding.
How to Save
- 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!
