Wow! I'm so glad I came across your video. Just planted the seeds and not even a week into planting -- it has grown already and I was thinking where's the best place to plants these morning glories ... I might have to re-think that plan. Thank you! Great information and video.
It really depends where you are. I'm from Northern Canada and the winters are too cold for the seeds to survive. The only ones that I have are the ones I plant.
Not true, I am in Minnesota, we get to -30 most winters and these are still trying to take over my entire yard, I can't get rid of them. I have sprayed them with vinegar, salt, dishsoap, I pull as many as I can. Once they get a hold, it's hard to stop them!
@@24framemedia The difference is that I live a good 1000 miles north of you and we have weeks at a time when the temperature is between -40C and -50 C which is -40 F to -58F. Bindweed, which is a very hardy cousin to morning glory is not a perennial here. It will come up from seeds dropped the previous season but you only get flowers at very end of our growing season and quite often we get frost before the vines go to seed. This also applies to the morning glory vines here. If you don't sprout them indoors before the last frost, our season quite often isn't long enough for them to bloom.
If only I had known this last spring because now they’ve self seeded and returning thicker than I planted. They have began crawling around the new hydrangea and black eyed Susan’s I planted in a different spot than they were last year. 😮
I have my morning glory vine out away from my garden on a trellis growing in a long metal container. Easy to mow any that come up outside the container and the seeds I re-plant in the Fall and the rest of the dry seeds and vines I put into a garbage bag for the trash.
Thank for this. I found one in my yard about a week ago when I was doing some planting and stuck it in a pot. I don't want to mess with something like that. I am starting a new flower garden and at my age, that would be too much trouble.
Thank you Farmer Fred. You have now horrified me! I've just planted some starter plants. I hear they are an annual here in Denmark, but we sometimes have mild winters. My hubby would not be happy. The white morning glory here is known as one of the worst weeds to get rid of. It's called Bind Weed... because it binds around plants and chokes them to death. I told him they would not come back next year. Hmmm... what to do now?
Thank you. My next-door neighbor planted them last year and this year I've got them popping up all over. I pulled some and put them in a pot but the rest are just getting pulled because they're around my blood orange, apple, and avocado tree.
If I have some luck I will have bugged friendly ground and patio wall cover , I only have some pots and during lockdown gardening was my fiscal, and I realised how lucky I am to have a small patio garden ….I hope they will survive British winter
I grow them in a raised box. This winter I burned them along with other branches from unwanted trees. Then planted collards in the bed in spring. Not on morning glory survived!
A neighbor of one of my family members has some kind of a fur tree that is about 10 feet tall and the branches are very close together. . Morning Glory has grown around that tree. The tree is about five feet wide and you have to look closely to see that there is a tree under all of those Morning Glory leaves that have grown all around it. The vine then attaches itself to the electric wires coming out from the house and that go out to cross the road. Right now the vine is almost half way across the street on those wires! It is incredible. I have never seen anything like it. Apparently the people who live there and the electric company do not care about this takeover. We have an area set aside for the wild birds where we have a few bird feeders and a bird bath. I wanted to have some bushes and flowers that would attract the birds and make them feel protected in that area. I planted Morning Glories that I had gotten from a friend’s garden. Unfortunately, my “gardener” weed whacked them just as they were starting to look nice. It is too late in the season to replant. I’m so sad. I will try to find some more in the spring. The people that I got them from were also trying to rid themselves from that vine. The woodchucks ate my sunflowers that I had planted in the spring. They waited until the plants were about 7 inches tall and then munched them away. The Blackberry Bush and a few wild flowers that I planted at about the same time is all that has survived. All I can do is take better precautions next year. I will have to cover the sunflowers in order to protect them until they have grown taller than the woodchucks and not so tasty to the deer. I do not want to have to put fence up. That would ruin the effect that I wanted in that area. Any suggestions for other plants? I wanted flowering vines to grow up the pole that some of the bird feeders are hanging on.
When you go to remove the vine in the late fall or early winter the seeds drop down all over the ground and come up the following spring… At least that’s been my experience with them!
A vile plant. Damaging. It took me 14 years, lost a pepper tree, and crepe myrtle due to its voracity. Find the main root. Kill it. Beautiful, yes, but more work than their beauty is worth.
@@PlantSmartLivingNOW I wish I had a better relationship with the one I dealt with. Turns out it was the neighbors plant. But it was damaging my trees. The network of groundvines was impressive….

You’re welcome, I’m glad the video was helpful and I hope you have a bountiful garden season!
Wow! Thanks for the tips...I just bought some seeds and now I'm thinking about growing it along the fence for privacy barrier. 😃
Oh my. I grew a huge one last year and thought it wouldn't come back. So I just planted 2 packages a few day's ago.😬
I love these flowers.....thank you for the video. I have grown this and now planting everywhere I can 💐

My back fence neighbor planted this several years ago. It has become a problem not only for her but for at least five of her neighbors.
Great video my friend - I appreciate your knowledge!
Thanks for watching!
Once you plant them, you have them forever !

Very helpful, informative video. I thank you for keeping me from disaster in my limited yard space. Sub'd!
You’re welcome and I hope you have a bountiful garden season this year!
Great video and beautiful gardens!
Thank you for your kind and encouraging words and I hope you have a bountiful garden season!
Do the actual vines already planted come back or the seeds it spreads😊
I am near Austin Texas and I couldn’t get the flowers to take off. My backyard has no trees … just sun.
Same 😢in north Texas this soil sucks 😢

Thank you for sharing , this was a true night mare for me last fall after I took them down, I was told from a friend be careful planting these ...

Bindweed and morning glory (iponea) are NOT the same plant. They have similar features but are not the same.
@@katherineferranti9133 Good to know. Thank you.
@@SandyKH if you collect the seeds in the fall you will control them from taking over. The seeds are sought after all over the world.
@@mimsicle1 the seeds are definitely used for... stuff 😏
this just made me want to plant them more, haha :)
If they re-seed so easy, is there any reason you can’t broadcast seed in the fall where you want them?
Thank you. My next-door neighbor planted them last year and this year I've got them popping up all over. I pulled some and put them in a pot but the rest are just getting pulled because they're around my blood orange, apple, and avocado tree.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing!
I hope mine come back. I planted seeds last yr. I like them climbing over my deck railings. I have different colours.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing and I hope you have a bountiful garden season!
In the fall, we collect the seeds before they die back. Then we replant the following spring. They aren't near any other plants.
I hope my hole yard is Morning glories! I hope my seeds grow again .
Thank you

What zone are you in?
Beautiful trellis
Thank you!
Thanks. How do you prune them ?
I don’t usually prune my morning glories!
Will they clog gutters? I was going to plant them by a trellis next to the corner of my house and my gutter is near the top of the trellis.
Not likely over one season, I usually cut them to the ground come winter.
Suffering from success! XD
Just kidding. They're beautiful!
😊
What zone are you in?
Pennsylvania zone six!
Well what state is this?
We live in Pennsylvania zone six!
@@PlantSmartLivingNOW oh oh. I'm in the Chicago area. Just planted about 8 of them. I cannot fathom they'd come up next year like Bindweed or so.
