I planted heirloom Clarke's Heavenly Blue morning glory seeds this year and have the most beautiful MG arch over my garden gate. They are still blooming like crazy but we're having a cold snap that's getting down to 41 tonight and tomorrow night. I have them covered just to play it safe, but I'm wanting to collect MG seeds for my own private seed bank I'm creating.

Does anyone know how long it will be till they make seed pods?? Will they live long enough to go to seed here in Michigan?

Hi Glenda,

You may have to cover up your plants from frosts while waiting for seed pods to mature. It has been my experience with Ipomoea tricolor, which is what you have there with Heavenly Blue, that it takes some time for their seeds to fully develop. Do you see seed pods on your plants? Are they big and plump or somewhat slender yet?

As far as I can tell, I don't have ANY seed pods at all. All MG flowers. :- /
