Full product description
Morning glories climb fast and unfurl trumpet blooms at sunrise, perfect for covering a trellis or fence in a single season. How to grow Morning Glory from seed Start here: Morning Glory seeds have a hard coat. Nick or lightly sand each seed and soak overnight in warm water before planting. Sow your seeds at the depth listed on the included instruction card and cover lightly. Then set the clear humidity lid on top to hold warmth and moisture. Keep the planter warm and in bright light, and mist the surface whenever it begins to dry. When your Morning Glory sprouts appear, remove the lid and move it to your brightest window or under a grow light. Once seedlings have their second set of true leaves, pot them up or move them outdoors after your last frost.
