morning glory fail

10 years ago

Hi folks, back in 2009, I direct sowed a morning glory on a pot using Schultz potting mix. If I remember correctly, the pot was 10-12 inch deep and about 12" in diameter. The pot was facing east. It got sun from morning til 1 or 2 pm. It grew for about 9 ft but was thin and only very few flowers.

What should I change this time?

plant it in the ground????

and put them in full sun ...

i planted then 12 years ago ... on the fence ... in my barren sand ... and have never watered them in my life.. and 12 years later.. they are still reseeding ...

from that.. i suspect.. you are treating them too good.. lol .. along with lack of sun ...
