How to Germinate Morning Glory Heavenly Blue

How to Germinate Morning Glory Heavenly Blue (Ipomoea tricolor)

  • Sow Morning Glory Heavenly Blue seeds directly outdoors in late spring, after the danger of frost has passed.
  • If starting indoors, plant seeds 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost date.
  • Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting to soften the seed coat and improve germination.
  • Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in well-draining soil, spacing them about 6-12 inches apart.
  • Maintain a soil temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C) for optimal germination, which typically takes 7-14 days.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.

Additional Tips

  • Morning Glory Heavenly Blue thrives in full sun and prefers well-draining soil, but it can tolerate poorer soils.
  • Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid overwatering.
  • Provide a trellis or other support for the vines to climb, as Morning Glory is a fast-growing climber.
  • Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and control weeds.
  • Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and maintain a tidy appearance throughout the growing season.
