Morning Glory Field Grown Mix is selected from plants grown in open-field conditions, giving the mix a natural range of flower colours and patterns. Its trumpet-shaped blooms may vary from plant to plant, making it a good choice for gardeners who prefer a less uniform and more natural-looking display.

The fast-growing vines suit Pakistan’s warm spring and monsoon growing seasons and can cover fences, balcony grills, trellises, arches and pergolas. Native to tropical America, Morning Glory is widely grown for its quick seasonal growth, morning-opening flowers and easy use on vertical garden supports.

💐 Growing Guide

1. Sowing
   • Gently scratch the hard seed coat or soak the seeds in water for 12 to 24 hours before sowing.
   • Use either method. You do not need to scratch and soak the same seed.
   • Sow the seeds ¼ to ½ inch deep and cover lightly with seed-starting mix.
   • Sow directly near a climbing support or start each seed in a small pot.
2. Germination & Transplanting
   • Keep the growing mix warm and lightly moist, but not waterlogged.
   • Move seedlings carefully when they have 2 to 3 true leaves.
   • Keep the soil around the roots together to reduce root disturbance.
3. Spacing & Container Size
   • Keep plants 8 to 12 inches apart.
   • For one plant, use a pot at least 10 to 12 inches wide and 10 to 12 inches deep.
   • Use a larger pot when growing more than one plant.
4. Sunlight, Support & Watering
   • Grow in full sunlight for healthy vines and better flowering.
   • Provide a trellis, balcony grill, fence, arch or pergola from an early stage.
   • Water when the top layer of soil starts to dry. Keep the soil moist but not soggy.
   • During monsoon sowing, make sure the soil or potting mix drains well.
5. Pests & Flower Care
   • Check for aphids, mites and other common garden pests.
   • Use neem oil only when pests appear.
   • Remove old flowers to help support continued flowering and reduce unwanted self-seeding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will all the flowers look the same?

No. Field Grown Mix is selected from plants grown in open-field conditions, so the colours and patterns can vary from plant to plant. The result is usually a more natural and less uniform display than a single fixed-colour variety.

How long does Morning Glory Field Grown Mix take to flower?

In warm conditions, seeds usually sprout within 1 to 2 weeks. Flowering may begin around 8 to 12 weeks after sowing, depending on sunlight, temperature and plant health.

Is this mix suitable for covering a fence or balcony grill?

Yes. The vines grow quickly and can cover fences, balcony grills, trellises, arches and pergolas when climbing support is provided early.
