Morning glory are those annuals in our region that everyone look up to for its hardy nature and of course spectacular blooms on vine .I was always curious to grow a vine from seed vines like morning glory that can easily survive our hot summer season.
I got some old seeds of morning glory from a known ,not sure of their germination tried a trick of germination which could be applied on any seed which are small in size .
Requirements :
Tissue Paper
BOX OR CONTAINER with aeration
Seeds
Method :
Take a tissue paper gently place it in box or container which has aeration or whole above for inflow of air
Place seeds above the paper and cover it with another paper
sprinkle few drops of water and cover the lid of container
Keep it in dry shady place for 48 to 72 hours
This is what I got after 48 hours it has germinated .
I planted it carefully in a small pot and covered it with coco peat
After a week it germinated like above it grew rapidly from then and within a month
And After two months of sowing there was a bud

it grew in a long vine reaching out for support to entangle itself to anything that comes in its way to reach a height ,it could be trained to cover desired area .
And After two months of sowing there was a bud
And then My Morning glory grown from seed bloomed
I am thankful to Thankful Thursday and nature for giving such wonderful blooms
