Morning glory flowers have always impressed me–they can be really large and showy. I’ve grown different cultivars over the years, including Heavenly Blue, Flying Saucer and Grandpa Ott. My deepest memory of morning glory vines, though, isn’t from plants that I grew, but from a late summer drive in the Sandpoint neighborhood of Seattle where I spied a house with an entire high wall covered in Heavenly Blue morning glories, covered in thousands of flowers. It was phenomenal!

Most recently, brother Tim gave me morning glory starts to grow up a sculpture in the driveway bed. It was a fun experiment and reminded me of how much I really love morning glories.

My future plans for morning glories are to grow them again up this same sculpture, but I’ll give the vines a bigger pot to grow in and start them really early in the greenhouse so they can reach the very top of the ten-foot plant form.
