Hi all,

Can morning glories be grown as a groundcover? Which varieties would work best?

They are beautiful flowers, but I'm afraid they will strangle my other plants.

Lmdobbs - Hi(!)...You didn't mention just how much ground you want to cover,but any of the types that are upright in form,trailers or semi-trailers will not 'strangle' any plants...Evolvulus species,Ipomoea batatas,Ipomoea leptophylla, Ipomoea nil dwarf varieties, Ipomoea pes-caprae and Convolvuls tricolor are some that would fit the bill ...

TTY,...

Ron
