It’s late Summer in the Mid-Atlantic area of the U.S. and our Morning Glory vine is in full bloom! Morning Glory blooms are a very pretty purple, and they bloom in the morning. Morning Glory vine is extremely easy to grow. We planted a few seeds in the ground and they grew quickly. It is a perennial so it returns every year. Morning Glory vine multiplies very easily. However, if left unchecked, it will wrap around other plants so tightly that it can suffocate them. Therefore you must pull up the seedlings if you want to keep it confined to a certain area of your garden!
For the beginner gardener, be very careful with Morning Glory. You have to constantly cut it back to keep it from wrapping around other plants. We do still enjoy the pretty purple blooms!
The bees love Morning Glory blooms, and bees are very important to our eco-system. They pollinate vegetable plants so it’s important to have bees in and around your vegetable garden.
The below video shows how easily Morning Glory can wrap around itself or other plants …
