Morning Glory seeds? I have bunches and bunches.

Morning Glories are so beautiful!

These ones are so easy to grow. Just drop them in a spot you are thinking they would look good - as you casually walk by. I am serious. I started a pot of these about 7 years ago and thought that they didn't take. So I put the pot around the corner of the house and before I knew it they were crawling around the corner of the house. So, I let them dry over winter and then harvest the seeds in the spring. I did my annual harvest today. What a beautiful day it was.

I have deep purple and an assortment of pink, mauve, plum, light blue.

You can choose either or a mix of both (in the same packet/baggie) or the individual color. I will mark them accordingly.

These are free.

I just wanted to share these beautiful climbing flowers with my fellow mamas.

EDITED TO ADD MORE INFO. and a link:

<<In zones with longer growing seasons and milder temperatures, sow seeds outdoors where they are to flower, after the last frost date. Plant morning glories in average, well-drained soil but make sure they get a full blast of sun (especially I. alba). I have grown the tricolor morning glories in partial sun on a western wall. They took longer to flower, but once they did, it was in profusion>>

I also want to let you know that I have morning glories in two places. One has full sun and the other only morning sun.

The more flower seeds I have the better a backyard paradise I can create! LOL

E-mail me at stacy@amitymama.com and I'll give you my mailing addy. :)

Thanks, mama! This is so sweet of you!

Me :waving:

Do they need full sun/partial sun or shade?
Do they need support to climb?
Deep purple ones please.
I will pm you my address
Thanks so much
:)

YES! YES! YES!

I vow that this year is a swapped seeds garden year. I think all the mixed colors would be awsome. I'll PM you my address.

Thank you a million.

I would love some, was planning on planting some any/all colors would be great. I will pm you my address. Thanks a ton.

Are your morning glories annuals? Mine come back every year and kill everything around them. This year I am actually taking extreem measures to get them OUT of my yard. Are these ones different? Did I miss some variety that doesn't do that? I think they are pretty... :) but they killed all of my rasberries last year. Grrr...

Love Val

Hmm...I've never had my morning glories kill any other plant. I have never even heard of that before.

I was going to ask you if you wanted some, Val, but thought you'd probably see the post. I guess you don't want any, huh?

My morning glories are not annuals. They come back every year.

Edited to add: I thought about it and wanted to say that my morning glories pretty much stay where I put them. I mean the plants stay where I plant them and then it climbs where I intended it to climb by placing the plant onto or around the string I put up specifically for it to climb. But, toward the back of the house I just let it climb up around the trellis (or whatever it is around the base of the porch).

I packaged up all of your seeds this morning and I plan to send them out tomorrow. :)

Happy Spring.

This is probably the best photo to represent what my morning glories look like. I dont' think there is a deep purple in the "Mix" that I have. The deep purple was a different variety. But anyway, this photo shows all the colors I have.

Nope, I have lots... Thank you so much for thinking of me though! That was so sweet! Mine are not nearly as pretty as yours. :) They will all die this year too. I am taking black plastic and covering them under my rasberries that servived and then putting bricks over the top. I think they have ruined morny glories for me.... :p it is most likely just my climate that makes these ones like this... or just the variety. I will try again next year or something... I don't know.

Yours are absolutly beautiful!!!!!!

Love Val

All of the MG seeds went out in the mail this morning. I included a typed up instrux. sheet in each. If you have further questions, please PM me or post it here (in case someone else has the same question).

Happy gardening!

Kristin :)

THANK YOU!!
I received my seeds yesterday.
You are such a kind Mama to share them.
:)
If I plant them directly outside, should I wait, I am in NY, or is it okay to seed them now?

If you want to plant them now, it should really be indoors. I would wait till after the last frost in your area to plant them - just to be sure.

On the other hand, these seed themselves every year at the back of my house. I am in NH and I won't be planting mine for another 6 weeks.

You are very welcome. :)

I found this site about Morning glories and thought I should share:

:) Growing Morning Glories
Morning glories are the simplest things in the world to grow as long as you don't plant the seed until the weather warms. They are tropical, heat-loving flowers, and the seed just rots if the weather is cold and damp. They will grow in any soil, flowering uncomplainingly if they have sun.

Since they flower only until frost, seeds can be planted indoors in fiber pots one month before the outdoor planting date to lengthen the flowering period. Soak the seeds overnight in water to soften the hard seed coat. Transplant, pot and all, when the weather warms.

Provide trellis for support, they will quickly twine to 10' and cover the support with plentiful blooms.

Morning glories are poisonous.

Yes, I forgot to mention that they *are* poisonous. sorry about that, mamas. I really don't like to put anything in my yard that is poisonous, but these are out front and not anywhere near our play-yard.

And the info. is just right. They are *very* easy to grow. Like I said in the OP to this thread...just throw them down where you want them as you casually walk by, LOL!

Thanks for posting this great info.

Kristin :)

Thank you so much!

I didn't know they were poisonous, though. Will have to use chicken wire to fence in around our satellite stand where I dropped the seeds today. :) We're pretty much spring-ish here.

My tomato plants not only DIDN'T die cuz it's been in the 30's, but have grown! YAY!


Thanks, Kristin!

:)

Thank you-
something coming back atcha!

Kristin is such a sweet mama...she surprised me with some!!!! Can't WAIT for them to bloom :)
