Morning Glories: What else do you grow around your morning glories?, 1 by Rareseedman

Ok they are not morning glories but I grow them in the bare pots, as there is sharp drainage it adds a bit of colour and keeps the soil in place, these might suit those of you who garden in really hot dry parts of the world like New Mexico... I have heard of zinnia's being planted around morning glories even someone growing them up a sunflower. When it rarely get's hot here in the UK it also binds the soil to hold moisture.

Here is Mesembryanthemum criniflorum (Ice Plant) they are very easy from seed and you can get them from almost every seed shop; you will get a rainbow out of every packet and hundreds of seeds... I might also try california poppy they are dead easy and self seed everywhere!...why not sprinkle some in a pot or hot dry area and scratch them into the surface..the leaves on these also have little crystals on them that shimmer.

If only morning glories came in these colours (drool)...if I only had planted these around my trailing morning glories..

I am sure other people must have things they grow around the base of morning glories.

Enjoy!
