Hi Lanette, "Some of their native morning glory species are on both the "rare/imperiled plant list" and the invasive/noxious weed list. Huh? Can't be both. They are also either confusing them with bindweed or other noxious weeds. Morning glories get an undeserved bad rap, unfortunately." Morning Glories may not deserve their bad reputation, but the reality is that they do have a bad reputation, not just in the United States, but in many parts of the world. Many years ago, when I was deciding on what plant to breed as a hobby, I seriously considered Morning Glories (Ipomea). I was concerned that none of the seed-catalog morning glories had yellow or orange in their color range, but I thought that by resorting to inter-generic hybridization, I could get the missing warm color range and get a full rainbow of colors in Morning Glories. However, it did concern me that the Japanese morning glory hybridists had not achieved yellow or orange in their centuries of work, even though they did have browns and tans. I did have serious doubt that I could achieve in a few years what the Japanese breeders had failed to achieve in centuries of work with Morning Glories. So I "chickened out" and went with zinnias, with the hope that genetic scientists would add the missing blues (so far they have not). I have not even tried to get a blue zinnia (Heavenly Blue Morning Glories look great) and most of my zinnia progress has been in getting new flower forms, like this example. As always, you can click on a photo in Houzz to open a larger version, which you can close by clicking on the "X". For me, it has been fun breeding new zinnias. ZM

Mike now I envy YOU! I have a variegated maroon looking MG and I have only found ONE seed pod! I think they do not produce any :-( But yes...next year your fence will be covered by all the seeds that start growing from the ground up lol VERY PRETTY Lucy

I've grown morning glories for years. I've found that on the Gulf Coast, the afternoon sun makes them wilt. I'd say that morning sun would be a better choice. If they don't get enough sun, they won't want to bloom. As far as watering goes, not too little or too much. I usually soak the seed overnight before soaking. I also scratch the surface with an Exacto knife (and try not to cut myself) Hope this helps. Here is a link that might be useful: Deborah's Garden

I have scarlett o'hara, crimson rambler, blue star, moonflower, & grandpa ott. I am looking for black knoila seeds.
