Early Call Morning Glory Flower Seeds

Morning Glory – Early Call (Heirloom) – Ipomoea tricolor

Annual – Early Call has huge showy blossoms a full 4 – 5″ across. The luminous flowers unfurl anew each morning to greet you in a watercolor wash of pink, magenta, pearly white, chocolate, lavender and sky-blue, many encircled with dainty white edging. They bloom continuously from mid-summer on, shining from captivating fleur-de-lis shaped leaves on strong climbing vines that twine easily up their supports. This beautiful flowering vine truly captures summer’s beauty.

Soil & Water: Plant in moderately fertile soil that drains well. Erect well-anchored supports at least 8 feet tall in a wind sheltered area; strong netting or a sturdy trellis serve well to hold these vigorous climbers. Morning glories will bloom hard in mid-summer once days begin to shorten.

Planting & Growing: To Start Indoors:In late spring, once weather is warm and settled and nights stay above 50F, plant seeds in a sunny spot in ordinary garden soil 2 – 3″ apart and 1/2″ deep. Firm soil over seeds and keep evenly moist but not soggy while awaiting germination. To Start Early Indoors: Sow indoors 4 – 5 weeks before last expected frost in individual pots of seed starting mix. Cover 1/2″ deep and keep warm and moist. Provide a strong light source until seedlings are ready to plant outdoors. Transplant very carefully once night stay above 50F and before seedlings get too crowded.
