Morning Glory Red Among the colorful riot of morning glory vines gracing our landscape these days there’s a species that, though its flowers are smaller than those of most morning glories — only about an inch long (2.5cm) — are brilliantly red, and very eye-catching. This sometimes weedy, fairly common roadside vine climbs to the top of shrubbery and sets its crimson blossoms even higher atop long peduncles that overtop the herbage
Morning Glory Red TO START EARLY INDOORS
Sow seeds 2 inches apart in a container of seed starting mix, 4 to 6 weeks before last expected frost. Cover 1/2 inch deep, keep moist and provide a good light source until seedlings are ready to plant outside. Transplant once weather warms up after gradually acclimating seedlings to outdoor conditions. Thin or transplant seedlings 6 to 8 inches apart when large enough to handle.
GROWING NOTES
Royal Blue Ensign morning glories’ low bush plant habit is convenient and versatile. Grow them in beds or borders, or showcase their glowing color in planters where the striking deep blue will set off the warm yellows and oranges of Ladybird cosmos, dwarf marigolds, or zinnias. If plants get rangy in midsummer, trim them back halfway for another long flush of bloom.
