| I planted a full pack of morning glory seeds in peat pots and put them in a sheltered location. The 4 o'clocks in pots next to them have taken off but not one of the morning glories has sprouted. I wonder if it's been too cold for them to wake up. It's been in the low to mid 50's at night and 70 to 78 or so in the day. |
Follow-Up Postings:

| Did you pre-treat the seeds in order to facilitate speedy germination? Soaking and scarification are the two most common methods, I believe. |
|
| You didn't say how long ago you planted them. I'd give them at least 3 weeks at those kinds of temps -- soil is probably averaging in the low 60s with those kind of air temps. Morning Glory is very easy to germinate, as long as you keep them moist, I doubt that they will fail unless the seeds themselves were somehow bad, old or had been exposed to extremes of heat. |

| Mine haven't either. I'm not worried as it seems my neighbors also haven't yet. Give them some time. Or dig up and try soaking overnight and re planting. |
