Morning Glories
Gardening Tips: Days of Vines and Roses
If you’re looking for a great trellis on which to grow an
annual vine, consider a sturdy, well-established climbing
rose. The thorny canes provide excellent support, and won’t
mind a little competition. Since the vines will come into
their glory later in the season, they’ll add color to a rose
that has finished its main flush of bloom. But any overlap
will produce handsome combinations as well: Hyacinth Bean or
Sweet Peas with a pale pink New Dawn rose, or blue Morning
Glories with your favorite yellow-flowered climber. |

Ipomoea tricolor. A continuous performer from early summer through the first fall frost, this spectacular climbing annual begins its show each morning with profuse, trumpet-shaped flowers amongst lush, heart shaped, light-green foliage. This tall, flowering vine may be direct-sown after last frost date or started indoors 4 to 6 weeks before planting outside. They prefer full sun, well-draining soil, dry conditions and soil that is not too rich in order to maximize their flower production. Readily twining Morning Glories will need the support of a trellis, fence, lamppost, mailbox post or secure garden twine. Summer blooming. Height: 8’ to 10’.
