Morning Glory Blue Morning Glory Ipomoea, Heavenly Blue is the variety most people picture when they think of Morning Glories. Intensely blue and very abundant, the soft blooms bedazzle wherever they arise, offering soft color on a vigorous, dense, carefree vine. The cheery white eye adds to the appeal of these blooms, which swirl open in the morning and then close again in afternoon. Perfect for covering unsightly buildings, tumbling over fences, or decorating any vertical garden structure from the mailbox to the lamppost, Heavenly Blue blooms over a very long summer and fall season and is pest-free. Morning Glory is a breeze to direct-sow, but if you want even earlier blooms, start the seeds ahead indoors. It can tolerate a bit of shade--though blazing sun is its preference--and is especially useful in dry soils, where other plants have not been content. It climbs to about 6 feet. May be started inside 3-4 weeks before last frost in peat pots. Usually direct seeded 2 weeks after last frost. Chip seeds, soak for 24 hours and cover with 1/4-1/2” of soil. Requires a soil warmth of 70-80°F. Space 12-18” apart or closer since these plants do not mind being crowded. Plant in a sunny location and do not fertilize.
