Zone 9 - day time temps in the low 100*F...

I swore I would not plant this year as I don't have time to take care of those green babies... so I waited until the middle of June to decide that maybe I could at least have a few morning glories on the fence... in years past, I've always had them in the ground by the end of March. Am I too late? Area gets evening shade, but perishing sun the rest of the day.

Thank you in advance!

If you're in Zone 9, you probably have a long growing season. And Mgs usually don't do anything until the ground gets hot anyway, so I'd say plant 'em!

I'm in zone 9, too. I'm still finding self sown MGs, so they must be content enough to sprout! I'd just recommend watering regularly, and if you have them in cells, maybe keep them in an area with afternoon shade until you can plant them out, as they will dry sooooo fast in this heat! GOod luck! :)

I planted red morning glories just 3 days ago and they are up already. I am in zone 5. I have cypress vine coming up on the other side of the lattice. Can't wait.
