Morning glory not blooming

Post by arq »

Hi All,

I planted my morning glory seeds in March and it still has not started blooming. It has set flower buds for the past 2-3 weeks but they are not blooming. Some flower budsshrivel and die off. What might be the problem?

2 things
Other than age, weather/temperature is the key trigger for blooms. Its not the peak time for MGs.
Then life of MG flower is less than a day, it is most possible that you are visiting them less often and blooms has already expired

Pest is also a possibility

Hi izhar,

The area gets generous sunlight but that's only after 12.

Hi Farhan,

I have kept a close eye on the vine and I don't think the flower falling off before I notice is a possibility :)

Plus what is the prime time of MG's?

Morning glories thrive and bloom successfully if planted where the plants get afternoon sun rather morning sunshine..move if planted in containers to a spot which receives sun after 11:00 hrs or so. the morning sun kills the buds before they have a chance to open, my personal experience.
