HEAVENLY BLUE Morning Glories- Perennials or Annuals??
Thanks everyone for your help!!
Answers: Annuals ... but as they drop their seed at the end of the year, the seed are in a raw environment through the winter to be ready for germination the following spring. This is call self-seeding, but don't count on it because winter conditions can sometimes be too harsh for the seed to come back the following spring.
Best bet for HBMG and other favorites: roughly six weeks before final frost, start the seed in sunny window; sow the seeds after the end frost in your nouns or buy bedding plants.
Remember, seeds from hybrids will not be true to the plant you have the year before.
Isn't it nice to enjoy something from "home" in your garden?!
Yes, they no problem could be...they are gorgeous, aren't they!! I have idyllic blue's and they have be growing out of a man made pot growing off my rear legs deck...I have be tempted a moment ago to leave them and see what happen, but they won't survive the winter months...maybe I can capture some of that 'fill'!!
I let the vines die and turn brown so I could collect the seed this year. The vines looked ugly for going on for two weeks, but I got a bumper crop of seed!
Thanks for reminding me of the beauty of this flower, I shall be order seeds. I enjoy included a couple of links for ordering.
They are annuals but can and do disperse seed that may or may not grow the following year .

They are annuals, but they reseed themselves if the soil where on earth they were planted is vanished undisturbed.
Annuals, but if you agree to the seeds develope they will usually reseed themselves and come support better every year. Thicker and healthier!
Or you can get the seeds surrounded by the fall and plant them surrounded by other places too!
