Started Morning Glory at the wrong time — lessons learned
I planted Morning Glory at entirely the wrong point in the growing calendar and spent the first few months wondering what I'd done wrong. roots disturbing foundations if planted too close to buildings didn't help matters. Once I understood providing a robust support structure before planting things improved substantially.
ability to soften hard architectural features naturally is what makes this plant worth persisting with. In a tree stump or old structure being naturalised it finally looks as good as I'd imagined. peak flowering display in summer redeemed the whole effort. If you're starting out: do your timing research before you plant.
