| Bloom Time | Summer until frost. |
| Design Ideas | Morning Glory is the fastest cover you will find and bears luscious flowers too. Treat as a vine to cloak wire or chain link fences in the blink of an eye. Allow to climb lattice and treillage, or shroud gateway arbors. Let it sprawl on the ground for a fast cover in a single season; especially good for reducing surface erosion on newly graded slopes while woody plants and other perennials fill in. Where winters are mild, this plant can completely shroud a small metal shed or outbuilding and transform it into a romantic vision popular among Victorian and cottage gardeners. |
