Kelly,

I grew them in hanging baskets for the first time last summer.

I grew Royal Ensign (Convolvolus tricolor) and Early Call. Although Early Call (Ipomoea nil) is a vine, it is not such an agressive twiner as are other Ipomoea and actually did great in pots.

One tip I can offer is that these plants get pretty thirsty in July-August so keep an eye on them.

I don't know what species you are growing, but the Early Call (like many Ipomoea) seemed to give ample warning by wilting that it needed watering. The Royal Ensign did not. So I had to check the soil every day.

Kelly and Linda, can you tell us what exactly you are growing in baskets?
