Well, if you’re wonderin’ when them morning glories gonna start bloommin’ after you plant ’em, let me tell ya, it ain’t always right away. Now, them flowers, they sure are pretty, but they ain’t in no rush to show up. If you just planted ’em from seed, it’ll likely take ’bout two to three months, sometimes even up to 120 days, before them little blooms start poppin’ out. So, if you’re sittin’ there all anxious, just hold tight, they’ll get there. Especially if you planted ‘em in early spring, you might be waitin’ until mid-summer or so before you see them bright flowers comin’ on strong.
Now, them morning glories sure like the heat. They tend to bloom when it’s nice and warm outside, usually startin’ in the summer and sometimes even stretchin’ into early fall, ‘round August or September. You see, them flowers, they don’t like the cold one bit, and once that temperature starts droppin’ below 50°F, it’s like they hit the snooze button. You won’t be seein’ them blooms till next year, so you better be ready for a little wait if it gets chilly.
When you start them morning glories from seed, it can take ’round two and a half months to maybe three and a half months before you start seein’ them blooms. If you live up north where the winters are long and cold, you might want to get a jump on things by startin’ ‘em indoors a month or two before the last frost. That way, when it warms up outside, them little plants will be ready to go and climb up whatever you give ’em to hold onto.
One thing that makes ‘em special is they can come back next year all on their own if the winter ain’t too harsh. They’ll self-seed, so don’t go pullin’ ‘em all out in the fall; let a few seeds fall to the ground, and you might be surprised come next spring when they pop back up.
Now, don’t go expectin’ them morning glories to bloom real quick right after plantin’. As I said, they can take a few months. Usually, though, within five to seven weeks after plantin’, you might see a little somethin’ startin’ to happen. But don’t go rushin’ ‘em, they’ll bloom when they’re ready, and all that waitin’ will be worth it when them colorful flowers finally show up and brighten up your garden.
And I’ll tell you this—morning glories tend to bloom in the mornin’ when the sun is nice and hot. It’s like they’re stretchin’ and wakin’ up with the day. By the time the sun gets high in the sky, them flowers are open and full of life. But don’t wait too long to admire ‘em, ‘cause by the time the afternoon rolls around, they might start closin’ up again.
So, if you’re plannin’ on growin’ morning glories, you better be patient. Keep them plants well-watered, give ‘em some sunshine, and maybe a little fertilizer while they’re bloommin’, and they’ll reward you with them beautiful, vibrant flowers that last through the warm months and well into fall. But remember, they don’t like the cold, so make sure you plant ‘em early enough to enjoy their blooms before the frost comes for ‘em.
Just be patient, and them morning glories will bloom when the time is right, and you won’t regret the wait. Don’t be rushin’ ‘em, and soon enough you’ll have a garden full of them colorful blossoms to brighten up your day.
