SOWINGPlant seed outdoors after all danger of frost is past, or start indoors 4 to 6 weeks earlier. Plant seeds 3 inches apart and cover withinch of fine soil.
THINNINGWhen plants are 2 to 3 inches high, thin to about 6 inches apart in the row or bed.
GERMINATIONGerminates in 14 to 21 days depending on soil and weather conditions.
REMARKSSeed has a very hard coat and better results will be obtained if the seed is soaked in lukewarm water for 24 to 48 hours before planting. Morning Glories prefer dry, sandy soil. A southern exposure will add to more continuous blooming.
