Morning Glories: Yellow MG's, 1 by TexasPuddyPrint

I've been growing Ipomoea Ochracea for several years now. They germinated easily enough using the damp paper towel/baggie method. When I first started growing them they suffered a variety of setback due to the dogs, a neighborhood opossum, the lawnmower man and a freak freeze/snowfall.

The vines I have now range from 1 to 3 years old and I'm harvesting a bumper crop of seeds this year. Often times, when I am harvesting I end up dropping a few seeds. Left to their own devices they will sprout by Spring-time.

I've found the best thing is just sow the ipomoea ochracea directly into the ground - they will grow much faster and more vigorously than if you keep it in a pot.

I also have ipomoea obscura growing in the ground...that vine is two years old. Haven't tried growing the Chinese variety or any other yellow morning glories.
