Morning Glory

Morning glories are an annual vining flower that bloom, as the name suggests, early in the day. These old-fashioned favorites love to climb. Their trumpet shaped flowers bloom in vibrant shades of purple, blue, red, pink, and white which attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Growing morning glories from seed is fairly easy: use a file to nick the hard coating of the seeds. Soak them in water overnight. Plant the seeds ¼ inch (6 mm.) deep in fertile soil. This trick helps the seeds take up water and germinate quickly.
