Planting Moonflower and Morning Glory together?

10 years ago

I have read that Moonflowers and MGs look nice when planted together. I am starting the MFs in 2 inch peat pots, one seed per pot. Should I plant a morning glory seed in the pot along with the MF seed? Or should I plant the morning glories in their own pots and then just plant them out next to the MF pots? I'm new at growing vines. Thanks!

I'd recommend planting the seeds separately and then moving the plants into larger containers when they have grown enough...you don't want to cramp the roots...

P.S. - I noticed that you don't have the function to allow members to send you a private message , so am requesting that you :

1) enable members to send you messages..

2) contact me via the "send me an e-mail" as listed on the top of my homepage here:
