Purple Morning Glory

Purple Morning Glory

Purple Morning Glory is a vigorous, fast-growing climber admired for its vivid purple, trumpet-shaped flowers that open fresh each morning. The blooms contrast beautifully against lush, heart-shaped green leaves, creating a striking vertical display throughout the warmer months. This plant is ideal for covering fences, trellises, pergolas, or unsightly walls, quickly transforming spaces with color and movement.

Easy to grow and highly adaptable, Purple Morning Glory thrives in sunny locations and is often grown as an annual in cooler climates or a self-seeding plant in warmer regions. Its rapid growth makes it a favorite for gardeners seeking quick coverage and seasonal impact. While its beauty is short-lived each day, the continuous production of flowers ensures a long-lasting floral show when conditions are right.

Care Instructions

Planting:
Plant in full sun for best flowering. Provide a sturdy support structure for climbing and allow room for vigorous growth.

Watering:
Water regularly during establishment. Once established, water moderately, allowing soil to dry slightly between watering.

Pruning:
Prune or trim as needed to control size and encourage bushier growth. Remove spent vines at the end of the season.

Pest Control:
Generally pest-resistant, though aphids or spider mites may appear. Treat early with insecticidal soap if needed.

Soil Tips:
Prefers well-draining soil of average fertility. Avoid overly rich soils, which encourage foliage growth over flowering.
