Fertilizing Moon Flowers and Morning Glory

| I have heard that too much fertilizer will leave you with Moonflowers and Morning Glory that are GREAT foliage but real skimpy on the flowers. My question is "How much is too much?" I would like to strike the perfect balance, I would like lots of growth but also lots of flowers. How do I find the balance? |

I've heard that some people consider Mornig Glories invasive weeds. The rest of us cherish them! I harvested some seeds from an open lot where NO ONE was watering or fertilizing and the MG's were blooming profusely. (It is VERY HOT AND DRY here). I wouldn't recommend fertilizing. I've also heard that Moon Flowers need a bit more water than MG's.
Hopefully someone can answer from experiene.

Hi,
My advice would be to fertilize (the Moon Flowers) with a low Nitrogen liquid fertilizer every two weeks and keep well watered but not soggy. After the ground has warmed up, mulch all around the plant. Enjoy the flowers and the fragrance. Dan |

| I was give a moon flower plant....its leaves look like a dandelion leaves with white milky lines going up the center of the leaf and it blooms at night with yellow flowers. It closes in the morning and the flower looks pinkish. What is this flower truely called and does it carry its own seeds to replant? |
