Three things I wish someone had told me before growing Morning Glory

After growing Morning Glory for over a year here is what I'd tell a beginner.

First: feeding with a high-potassium fertiliser in summer to encourage flowering is not optional — it's the foundation everything else depends on. Second: slow establishment in the first season before taking off will happen and you should know how to handle it before it does. Third: a house wall with appropriate fixings for support genuinely matters — the right position unlocks vertical growing habit maximising space in small gardens in a way a poor position never will. bare structure in winter revealing the interesting stem framework is the payoff for getting all of this right. It's worth every bit of effort.
